WALDO, Fla. – Yashica Lushonda Carn, 43, of Starke, was arrested yesterday and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell after 11 pounds of marijuana were reportedly found in her car after a traffic stop.

Carn was pulled over by a Gainesville Police Department officer at about 3 p.m. yesterday in the 15000 block of NE Waldo Road for a lane change violation, weaving through traffic, and illegal window tint.

The officer reported that he could smell a strong odor of marijuana from the car, and Carn reportedly said she had recently smoked marijuana in the car and did not have a medical marijuana card. A search based on the smell of marijuana reportedly produced a black trash bag in the trunk that contained 11 vacuum-sealed bags of marijuana, totaling about 11 pounds (almost 5,000 grams).
