According to court records, Prescott was found in possession of a kilo of cocaine, a kilo of cocaine laced with fentanyl and marijuana near County Road 1 and Industrial Boulevard in Atmore.

Trooper Derrick Hodges also reported that when he approached Prescott she gave him the name of Tkeria S. Banks and a date of birth of Aug. 8, 1999 in an attempt to avoid being arrested on multiple felony warrants.
