A Punta Gorda woman is in custody this morning on multiple drug charges after accepting packages containing illegal drugs. Rosa Haydee Santiago Bonilla (DOB 1/27/77) was arrested on Tuesday after she accepted two packages shipped on different dates that contained methamphetamine, marijuana, and cannabis in edible and dab forms.
CCSO Narcotics Detective Forbus and his partner, K9 Ladybird, intercepted the first package on April 24th at a shipping facility. The package was labeled to be shipped to an address in Punta Gorda, Florida. K9 Ladybird, a certified drug detector canine, alerted to the odor of illegal drugs coming from the package. The package was secured at the shipping facility pending further investigation into the recipient who was later determined to be Bonilla (using the alias Heidi Colon). On April 25th, Bonilla requested re-delivery of the package through the company.
