From the St. Pete times website, local waitresses get busted for drug possession...
CLEARWATER — Responding to a tip that narcotics were being sold at a Drew Street restaurant, police arrested three waitresses at Tilted Kilt on Saturday night, according to arrest reports.
Two were charged with drug possession and the third is accused of trying to hide evidence (tampering with evidence), but none were charged with drug sales or drug trafficking.
One suspect, 19, of the 1900 block of Rebecca Drive, was charged with possession of oxycodone, phenobarbital and possession of Soma. Another suspect, 20, of the 2600 block of Drew Street, was charged with possession of oxycodone. The last suspect, 21, of the 10400 block of Oakhurst Road in Largo, was charged with tampering with physical evidence.
According to the reports, Clearwater police went to the restaurant at 2571 Drew St. around 9 p.m. after an anonymous caller reported the women had prescription pills and may be selling them.
Police said the first two suspects consented to be searched. They said they found six pills in one purse, and learned that said she had bought four of them from the second suspect and the other two were given to her, reports show.
Police said they found eight oxycodone pills in a makeup case belonging to one of the girls and that the third suspect tried to hide by throwing in a trash can.
The suspect admitted she threw the pills away after someone said police were searching her possessions, according a report.
None of the girls didn't have prescriptions for the medications, police said.
All three women were released from the Pinellas County Jail Sunday morning after each posted $2,000 bail.
