Patricia Jane Coberly was convicted of Trafficking by Possession in Amphetamine and Possession of Paraphernalia. The jury returned the guilty verdict just after 6 p.m. last night, following a one-day trial in Glades County.
Assistant State Attorney Evan Chaput prosecuted the case.
On November 2, 2023, the Glades County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop on a speeding vehicle. The defendant was a passenger in the back seat. A K-9 deputy alerted to drugs in the vehicle. The defendant was sitting on a backpack. Inside the backpack was hypodermic needles, a glass pipe used to smoke methamphetamine, and a baggie containing 26.5 grams of crystal meth in it. The defendant was then arrested.
Sentencing is scheduled for November 4, 2025.
