Call to Police About Noelle Bush Allegedly Bringing Crack into a
Drug-Treatment Center

This call was made from a client at the Center for Drug-Free Living to the
Orlando (Florida) Police Department on 9 September 2002. It was published by
the Orlando Sentinel.

Orlando Police Department Operator: You're being recorded.

Caller: Yes, I'd like to make a report, please.

OPD Operator: OK, what happened?

Caller: I am located at the Center for Drug-Free Living, and I would like a
police officer to come out, please.

OPD Operator: What address are you at, ma'am?

Caller: [gives address]

OPD Operator: OK, can you tell me what happened?

Caller: This is basically a treatment center for women with children.

OPD Operator: Yeah.

Caller: And one of the women here was caught buying crack cocaine tonight.
And a lot of the women are upset because she's been caught about five times.
And we want something done because our children are here, and they just keep
letting it slip under the counter and carpet.

OPD Operator: Your name?

Caller: I'm anonymous.

OPD Operator: Well, we're going to have to meet with someone.

Caller: OK. Can I put all the girls? Because we're all here; we're all here
wanting to talk to someone.

OPD Operator: Who was she caught buying the drugs by? Who caught her buying
the drugs?

Caller: The staff.

OPD Operator: Pardon me?

Caller: Staff. They said, you know, because it's basically Noelle Bush. And
she keeps getting out of it. Because every--she does this all the time and
she gets out of it because she's the governor's daughter. But we're sick of
it here 'cause we have to do what's right, but she gets treated like some
kind of princess. And everybody's tired of it, you know. We're just trying
to get our lives together, and this girl's bringing drugs on property.

OPD Operator: OK. And the staff caught her?

Caller: Yes.

OPD Operator: They caught her today?

Caller: Yes. This is just about 30 minutes ago.

OPD Operator: And she's still there, though.

Caller: Yes. And she is on probation, I guess. And all kinds of stuff. I
don't know what all that is. But. And procedure is that they would call the
police, but they're not doing it here, because of who she is.

OPD Operator: OK. So the staff is refusing to do anything about it.

Caller: Because of who she is.

OPD Operator: OK. OK. OK, if you don't want to leave me your name that's
fine. But somebody needs to meet with the officers when they get there.

Caller: OK, we'll be out front. Do you know how long . . .

OPD Operator: OK. All of you will be out front?

Caller: Yeah. There's 24 of us.

OPD Operator: OK. Hopefully, it will be within the next maybe 15 or 20
minutes. It may be longer depending on how many officers are available now.

Caller: OK.

OPD Operator: All right.
