Step Grandparents of Missing Girl Face Drug Charge

The step-grandparents of missing Haleigh Cummings allegedly bought crack cocaine from an undercover officer and were arrested as part of a Palatka drug sting. They are currently being held without bond at Putnam County Jail.

According to police, the 41-year-old man and 40-year-old woman went to a home to purchase the cocaine. Law enforcement officers believe the two knew they were being followed because they allegedly tossed the crack from their vehicle.

Jail records show that the woman was on probation for forgery and theft at the time of her arrest. The man was on probation for a prescription drug case.

Since the disappearance Haleigh, several members of her family have been arrested in drug sting operations in Putnam and St. Johns counties. Her father was charged with trafficking prescription drugs and reached a plea agreement on three of five charges against him. His ex-wire and her brother were also arrested for the same charges. A 19-year-old cousin pleaded no contest in the same case and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

If you or a family member is facing a drug charge in the Orange County or Orlando, Florida area, or anywhere else in the state of Florida, please contact the experienced criminal defense attorneys at the Umanksy Law Firm for an initial consultation.
