FORT WALTON BEACH - A Florala, Ala. woman who asked a deputy for directions and then failed to follow them, was arrested after he found a crack pipe in her vehicle.

Around 11 a.m. Wednesday, the 53-year-old woman approached a deputy patrolling a street known for drug activity and asked for directions to someone's home, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff's report.

The deputy explained the home she was looking for was on the next street over, but as the woman pulled away he noticed one of her taillights was missing and followed her.

When she passed by the street she said she was looking for, the deputy stopped her. During the traffic stop, the deputy asked to check her vehicle and she consented to the search.

Initially, the woman told the deputy she was not a drug user, but after he found the crack pipe and other assorted drug paraphernalia the woman said, "She fell off the wagon and smoked crack cocaine two weeks ago," the report stated.

A court date was set for July 14.
