You got meth on you, too, Stacy. >> That is not meth. That is not meth. I swear to God. >> On a quiet Friday evening in Palm Coast, Florida, a detective noticed something small. A glowing ember flying out of a car window. At first glance, it might seem like nothing, but in a county of a strict burnban, that one small mistake would trigger a traffic stop. And within minutes, detectives would discover far more than they expected. >> 6137. >> Copy. >> DRIVER, [screaming] PUT YOUR HANDS UP OUT THE WINDOW. DO IT NOW. WALK BACK TOWARDS ME. Get calms.

Inside a container attached to her keychain, they discovered two additional bags of methamphetamine. Oh boy, looks like tonight's party is postponed.

Pringle was arrested for possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell along with possession of drug paraphernalia. Both were transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall inmate detention facility. Deputies discovered yet another bag of methamphetamine hidden in Pringle's clothing. She was then charged with introducing contraband into a county detention facility. What began with a single glowing ember on a roadway ended with multiple drug charges and two arrests.
