A Port St. Lucie man was arrested with fentanyl when an officer stopped him on a bicycle after having just left a known narcotic residence.
An officer observed 65-year-old Ronald Bertram Woods riding a bicycle on Harlem Street at 3 p.m. Monday, according to an arrest report from the Leesburg Police Department. He then made a left southbound turn onto Tuskegee Street without stopping at a stop sign. He was also on the wrong side of the road, going against traffic.
The officer conducted a traffic stop near 2110 Mara Ct., where he asked Woods if he had any contraband on his person due to seeing him leaving a known narcotic residence on Harlem Avenue. Woods advised that he had a crack pipe on his person. The officer searched him and did indeed find a pipe with dark burn marks in his left pocket, the report said.
A subsequent search of the area near the tree revealed a small zip-style baggie on the ground. It looked freshly placed, as it was not dirty despite the dirt and leaves surrounding it. It had also just rained, and several rocks near the baggie were wet while it was dry. There was a large puddle of water a few feet away from the dry baggie, as well, the report said…
