A Texas woman was arrested last Sunday after she apparently found some discarded cocaine, and at a Ruston convenience store overdosed.
Erica Bradley, 50, of Leander, Texas, was arrested March 9 at the North Louisiana Medical Center after police received a call to a La. Highway 33 convenience store regarding an overdose.
A caller told police Bradley had gone inside the store and when she came back outside, her behavior was unusual. The caller said Bradley began to scratch her face and became unaware of her surroundings and then unresponsive.
Before an ambulance arrived at the store, the caller checked Bradley’s pockets and located a napkin containing a white powder and two clear plastic baggies.
At the hospital, officers interviewed Bradley who admitted she found a bag of cocaine on the bathroom floor and “snorted some.” Once she was released from the emergency room, police placed her under arrest for possession of cocaine. Bail was set at $12,500.
