A Fort Myers woman was arrested as she is suspected of having a broad array of drugs in her pickup truck, including over 100 grams of Fentanyl and more than 80 grams of cocaine.

The suspect, Jackyoln Simpkins, 35, over 11 drug charges, Possession of Firearm or Weapon by Florida Convicted Felon and Violation of Probation or Community Control by Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office.

CCSO Deputies responded to a call of a suspicious female at a Marathon Gas Station on Jones Loop Rd. in Punta Gorda. When the Deputy spoke with Simpkins, she displayed signs of being under the influence of a narcotic, according to the CCSO press release.

Two clear plastic containers, with one suspected of having crack cocaine and a second a white powder, were found in the truck; along with several credit cards not registered to Simpkins.
