Prosecutor Josh James called witnesses and presented evidence that the defendant was in possession of fentanyl during a 2023 traffic violation on 15th Street when she was stopped by the Bay County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigator Doug Cummings K-9 “Fila” sniffed the vehicle outdoors and issued a drug alert. A Panama City police officer assisted in the search and testified that she found two baggies containing suspected drugs in defendant’s bra, each containing approximately 3.5 grams of suspected fentanyl.

She was ordered to remain without bail pending sentencing on October 29.

According to the State Attorney’s Office, Rolle faces a minimum of seven years in prison and up to 30 years for a first-degree felony under Florida’s Human Trafficking Statute.

The jury deliberated for about 25 minutes before finding her guilty.
