The Smoking Gun reports that Casey Quoka of suburban Tampa also had what Florida cops believed to be marijuana on her bed and a bag of pills “suspected to be MDMA” on a nightstand. The alleged narcotics, which are awaiting a lab test, were accessible to Quoka’s 3-year-old son when law enforcement officers visited her residence around 9 p.m., according to an arrest affidavit posted to the crime site.
