HOMOSASSA - A woman was arrested on several drug charges after a traffic stop Sunday. Nancy Ann Consalvo, 31, of 8825 W Harbor Road, Homosassa, was pulled over on U.S. 19 for suspicion of running a stop sign on Suffolk Terrace, according to an arrest report from the Citrus County Sheriff's Office. During a search of her vehicle, she got out of the car and appeared to be holding something in her hand, according to the report. It was a bag containing about 18 grams of cocaine, the report stated. The search turned up pipes with drug residue, more than 150 painkillers and $556. She was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, possession of drugs without a prescription, giving false information to a police officer, misdemeanor possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, driving with a suspended license and obstructing a law officer, the report said. A computer check turned up arrest warrants for failing to appear at a court hearing on different drug charges and failure to pay child support. Consalvo remained in the Citrus County jail Monday without bail on the failure to appear charges and $21,000 bail on the drug charges.
