Cops: Crack rock found inside baby's sock during Florida drug raid

Joseph A. Cmehil, Alisha D. Herrmann, and Rodney D. Rogers were arrested after a raid on a drug house in Port Charlotte, Fla., Jan. 31.

Three Florida residents were arrested after authorities raided a house and discovered a trove of drugs, including a rock of crack cocaine inside a baby's sock, police said.


Charlotte County Sheriff's Narcotics, Street Crimes, and K9 Units investigators also turned up $3,126 in cash, 190 grams of marijuana, cocaine, and a stolen .25 caliber Beretta handgun, according to a police statement.

During the Thursday raid, sheriff's officials also found a supply of drug paraphernalia and preparation materials, including two digital scales with cocaine residue, one grinder with marijuana residue, 1,000 small plastic baggies, and a homemade smoking pipe.

Rodney Dewayne Rogers, 42; Alisha Denise Herrmann, 22; and Joseph Alan Cmehil, 50, were taken to the Charlotte County Jail, where they were each charged with possession of marijuana, possession of cocaine, and possession of narcotics equipment. The investigation is ongoing, police said.

Rogers and Herrmann are still in jail on no bond due to prior felony convictions in narcotics. Cmehil posted a $4,500 bond and was released, according to a police statement.

Rogers has been booked in Charlotte County four times, while Herrmann has been booked nine times, according to police records cited in the sheriff's statement.

Everyone knows a loaded baby can bring down an airliner. Depending how fully the magazine is loaded a lot of lives can be effected. Adding crack to this combination makes it even more lethal. Your point is well taken my friend..........well taken.

                  Its all about the money why else do you think the other two had so many priors? the courts were making a ton of money on this bunch alone.and you know there are a hell of allot more of them you DON'T read about. How do you think they got busted in the first place? I would guess that some snitch ran out of money to post bail and gave them up instead....the ball still rolls.

                      I suspect grandma is raising the baby. Baby daddy is likely one of the scumbags, if he's not already in prison.

                            In Florida, convicted felons cannot vote, unless approved by a political type of person (state congressman/senator, judge etc). Even after they serve the time, they have to appeal for their right to vote.

                            Maybe Florida shuld have a 3 Strikes Law like California. 3 Felonies and prison for LIFE!

                            Since that law was passed in 1994 murders are down about 50%. Robbery is down about 50%. Rapde is down about 30%. Assaults are down about 50%. See what happens when you put repeat offenders in jail for a long time?
