Violette allegedly said she and the driver were just sitting there talking, according to a report from the sheriff’s office. While Powers was speaking with her, he noticed a small baggie lying next to her with a clear crystal-like residue inside the bag along with several needles.

When Violette stepped out of the car, Powers noticed a small red cigarette pack lying in her seat. Inside of the cigarette pack were several baggies with residue and a yellow piece of paper with a crystal-like substance that Violette allegedly said was Meth.
