Cason said she and the driver, who deputies were intending to pull over for driving without a valid license, were on their way to Port Canaveral for a family cruise, according to the sheriff’s office.

During the traffic stop, deputies said they smelled a “strong odor of **********” and asked Cason to get out of the vehicle. That’s when she reportedly admitted to smoking weed in the car without a medical ********** card.
