Sussex Woman Busted for Bail Jumping After Man Reports Drug Deal, Police Say

A Sussex woman already in trouble after an incident involving her ex-boyfriend’s vehicle now faces a bail jumping charge after a man she was with reported to the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department that she was trying to make a drug deal, according to a criminal complaint.

Kayla M. Eddy, 23, was charged Tuesday in Waukesha County Circuit Court with misdemeanor bail jumping. If convicted, she faces up to two years, nine months in jail and $10,000 in fines because she has past criminal convictions.

According to the complaint:

A man contacted the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department to report at 1:47 a.m. Tuesday that he was with a woman who was trying to make a drug deal. The man placed his cell phone in his pocket so dispatchers could hear the woman talking about drugs.

Dispatchers heard a woman talking about drugs and purchasing crack cocaine. They listened in on the conversation, learned the two people were about to leave the home and sent a deputy to the area.

The deputy located the two people and conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle, which was being driven by Eddy. The deputy noted that Eddy did not have a valid driver’s license.

A K-9 was requested to the scene and deputies located a glass tube used to smoke cocaine in the vehicle. Eddy denied any knowledge of the device, but deputies smelled an odor of intoxicants coming from her.

Eddy, who was ordered to have absolute sobriety while on bail, had a .084 percent blood alcohol concentration.
