TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - A Tallahassee woman who was out on bond for selling meth last week has again been arrested, this time for trafficking large amounts of meth. 

The Leon County Sheriff’s S.P.I.D.E.R. Unit had arrested Rebecca Archer on Dec. 15, for multiple drug related charges. She bonded out on those charges.

But on Dec. 26, 2018, S.P.I.D.E.R., along with the assistance of Air-1 and Deputy K-9 Wilmot, located Rebecca and arrested her again, for violation of probation.

During the arrest, Rebecca was found to be in possession of 22 grams of crystal methamphetamine and a loaded .380 semi-automatic firearm.

Her charges were then updated to include trafficking methamphetamine, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and violation of probation.

Archer's new bond has been set at $40,000 for the drug charges. No bond has been set for the violation of probation charge. 


Three arrested after LCSO spots truck that fled the previous night

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Three people face charges after Leon County Sheriff's deputies spotted a truck that had previously fled from them.

LCSO’s S.P.I.D.E.R. Unit saw Phillip Strickland pull into a driveway on Mission Road on Saturday driving a red Nissan pick-up truck.

Phillip had fled from S.P.I.D.E.R. the night before, according to an LCSO Facebook post. 

A stop was conducted, and Phillip was placed under arrest for fleeing/eluding and driving with a suspended License. Two passengers were in the truck, Rebecca Archer and Brandi Stephens.

K-9 Deputy Matthews responded to the scene. A drug sniff of the vehicle returned positive results.

In the vehicle, deputies found 56 grams of methamphetamine, scales, baggies, Xanax pills, Oxycodone pills, $650 and a laptop stolen from Apopka.

A check of Stephens revealed her to have several felony warrants for her arrest. She was arrested for trafficking meth, possession of controlled substance X 5, and possession of drug paraphernalia, grand theft and the outstanding warrant charges.

Archer was arrested for possession of meth with intent to sell, possession of controlled substances X 4, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
