Three kilos of Cocaine seized during I-95 Florida traffic stop; Two Marylanders arrested

A routine traffic stop on Interstate 95 in St. Lucie County, Florida, led to a major drug seizure and the arrests of two Maryland residents after detectives discovered more than three kilograms of cocaine inside their vehicle.

According to the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office, the arrests occurred November 10, 2026, when detectives with the agency’s Special Investigations Division, working alongside the Patrol Operations Bureau and Florida Highway Patrol, stopped a northbound vehicle near Indrio Road.

During the investigation, authorities recovered more than three kilograms of powder cocaine from the vehicle.

The two occupants, identified as Anthony Williams, 47, and Alexandria Browne, 51, both of Owings Mills, Maryland, were arrested and transported to the St. Lucie County Jail.

Both suspects face charges of trafficking in cocaine and are being held on $250,000 bonds each.

Sheriff Richard Del Toro praised the coordinated effort between detectives, deputies, and Florida Highway Patrol, emphasizing the department’s commitment to combating drug trafficking.

“Drug trafficking has no place in St. Lucie County,” Del Toro said, adding that authorities will continue targeting those involved in the illegal drug trade and holding them accountable.

The sheriff’s office credited the successful operation to proactive enforcement and cooperation between law enforcement agencies.

For the two suspects, what began as a trip along I-95 ended in arrests and serious felony charges. And, judging by the sheriff’s office’s tongue-in-cheek announcement, his earlier warning that “deputies had their coffee and were ready for action” was more than just talk.
