Two Cape Coral suspects, 20-year old Nicholas Stone and 19-year old Jami Wheeler, have been taken into custody on felony drug charges. Stone faces four counts of selling cocaine, including selling cocaine within 1000 feet of a church and another for selling within 1000 feet of a school. Both suspects face felony charges of trafficking cocaine, possession of Roxicodone and possession of Xanax.
The arrests came after a month long undercover sting operation. Stone allegedly sold drugs to undercover officers on four occasions. The authorities later obtained a search warrant for the pair's residence and found thirty pills and 36 grams of cocaine. The Cape Coral Police also recovered a digital scale and baggies used to measure and separate the drugs for distribution. Both suspects were taken into custody at the Lee County Jail.
Florida law requires those convicted of drug trafficking serve a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in State prison. Drug trafficking is a serious felony crime and is defined as the sale, delivery, manufacture, possession of certain drugs of a certain period of time. However possessing the substance of cocaine is also a serious felony crime. This conviction could land the accused in prison for a minimum of 3 years.
