A Florida woman, Kennecia Posey, who was arrested with cocaine last month told officers the wind must have blown it into her purse.

The 26-year-old was one of two passengers in a car that was stopped by Fort Pierce police after it was seen swerving in the roadway on March 21.

When officers approached the vehicle, they detected the smell of marijuana coming from inside the car.

During a search of the car, they found cocaine and marijuana in separate bags inside a purse Posey had on her lap.

According to police, Posey admitted the marijuana was hers but denied having any cocaine.

“I don’t know anything about any cocaine. It’s a windy day, it must have flown through the window and into my purse,” Posey said, according to police.

Posey was arrested and taken to the county jail, where she was booked on one felony count of cocaine possession and a misdemeanour count of marijuana possession.

She was later released on bond.
