CLEWISTON — During the late afternoon hours on Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2023, Hendry County Deputy J. Goldberg observed 37-year-old Sandra Wright driving on a public road. Deputy Goldberg had personal knowledge that Wright did not have a valid Florida driver’s license.

After initiating a traffic stop on the vehicle, Deputy Goldberg placed Wright under arrest. He reportedly located a glass pipe with residue inside it as well as multiple Brillo pads inside her purse. The residue in the glass pipe allegedly tested positive for bath salts.

Wright was arrested on charges of possession of controlled substance without a prescription, driving while driver’s license suspended and/or revoked and possession of drug equipment. Sandra Wright is currently being held on a $17,000 bond.
