Port St. Lucie mom leaves marijuana in kid’s backpack
February 3rd, 2009 by TCPalm.comPORT ST. LUCIE — A woman got a notice to appear in court after her 8-year-old son found part of her suspected marijuana blunt and her cigarette pack in his backpack and told a bus driver, according to a police report released Monday.
The bus driver on Friday told an officer that the boy indicated he found a pack of Newport cigarettes in his book bag. In the pack, the officer spied an apparent “used marijuana cigarette blunt roach,” the report states. “Blunt” is usually used to describe a cigar or cigarette in which the tobacco is replaced by marijuana.
The boy said his mom put the cigarette pack in the backpack and took them to his grandmother’s house the day before. The child’s mother, Jade Lee Krest, 31, of Port St. Lucie, admitted the cigarette pack and blunt were hers, the report states. She said she “mistakenly” left them in there.
Krest received a notice to appear in court in lieu of being taken to jail.

Are you aware that Jade Lee Krest is an employee with SafeSpace? At the Martin County Shelter. Although she was not fired, she was supended for three days.
However, I have to admit that I am a former employee of SafeSpace. I have more information if your are interested.
If you should decide to respond to this email, the only thing that I ask is I do not come off as some disgruntled exemployee.
Thank you for you time and consideration.
Sincerly,
Glaydrell D. Johnson
