Gov. Jeb Bush's daughter, Noelle, may be in trouble with police again after officers reportedly found cocaine in her possession Monday night, according to Local 6 News.
Police were called to the Center for Drug Free Living in Orlando
late Monday, where workers gave them a substance they said they
found on Noelle Bush, 25, Orlando Police Sgt. Orlando Rolon said.
Officers met with facility staff and were told that Noelle Bush was found in possession of 2 grams of a small white rock substance, according to Rolon.
The workers told police that the two grams of powder tested
positive for cocaine, but police didn't immediately arrest her
because they couldn't obtain a sworn statement that she was in
possession of cocaine, Rolon said.
Gov. Bush, asked about his daughter before going into a
Florida Cabinet meeting in Tallahassee, said he wouldn't discuss
her with the media.
"This is a private issue as it relates to my daughter and
myself and my wife,'' he said. "The road to recovery is a rocky
one for a lot of people that have this kind of problem. I don't
have any details about what happened. I just found out.''
The investigation will continue, said Rolon, who added that
police hadn't interviewed Noelle Bush as of Tuesday morning.
Possession of any amount of cocaine is a felony, said police.
In July, Noelle Bush was found to be in contempt of court
because a worker at the treatment center found her carrying
prescription pills. A judge sent her to jail for three days.
She was arrested in January at a Tallahassee pharmacy
drive-through window for allegedly trying to buy the anti-anxiety
drug Xanax with a fraudulent prescription.
In a Tuesday release, the governor said:
"As Columba and I have shared before, the road to recovery is a
difficult and long journey for those afflicted with addiction.
"My family loves Noelle very much and continues to pray for her
continued progress. We again ask the public and media to respect
our privacy during this difficult time for our family."
