DeLand Woman Arrested on Drug Possession and Probation Violation Charges
On December 21, 2024, at 7:25 AM, Hope Michael Duell, a 28-year-old resident of DeLand, Florida, was arrested in Volusia County. She faces charges of possession of cocaine and a felony violation of probation or community control under statute 948.06. Her bond was set at $3.
Possession of cocaine is a third-degree felony in Florida, carrying penalties of up to five years in prison, five years of probation, and fines up to $5,000. Convictions for this offense can also result in mandatory drug treatment programs, community service, and the suspension of driving privileges for up to two years.
A violation of probation or community control occurs when an individual fails to adhere to the terms set by the court, such as avoiding further legal trouble. A felony probation violation can result in the revocation of probation and imposition of the original sentence, along with additional penalties, depending on the nature of the violation.
Duell, born on August 22, 1996, is expected to appear in court to address these charges. Authorities in Volusia County remain committed to enforcing drug laws and ensuring compliance with probation requirements. This case highlights the significant legal consequences tied to both drug-related offenses and violations of court-ordered terms.
