A Florida woman has been arrested and is now facing a series of drug-related charges after being caught in a bizarre situation involving a historic cemetery, authorities confirm.
Stephanie Wegman, 46, was apprehended after state troopers allegedly discovered her engaging in sexual activity in a long-abandoned graveyard in Bushnell, Florida. Although the explicit act occurred in public, she currently faces no charges relating to the encounter itself. Instead, law enforcement uncovered various illegal substances in her vehicle, resulting in serious drug charges.
The strange series of events unfolded on March 27 at the Wild Cow Prairie Cemetery, a small and inactive burial site near Bushnell, Sumter County’s seat, located about 50 miles west of Orlando. The cemetery, no longer active since the 1920s, is preserved by local historical groups and families of those buried there.
According to a report obtained by People magazine, Florida State Trooper W.R. Kelly stopped by the cemetery for his K9’s relief. He noticed a white Nissan parked with windows down and no people in sight. As he explored further, he claimed to see a man and woman—later identified as Wegman—engaged in a sexual act at the rear of the cemetery grounds.
Other law enforcement officers soon joined the scene and confirmed the situation. The couple was asked to identify themselves, as the cemetery was officially closed to the public at the time.
The pair returned to the vehicle to dress and retrieve identification. A fourth officer then arrived, and with the help of a K9, performed a “free air sniff” of the vehicle. The dog indicated the presence of illegal substances, prompting a full search.
Inside the car, authorities allegedly found methamphetamine, Xanax, Oxycodone, marijuana, and various drug paraphernalia.
Following the discovery, Wegman was charged with drug trafficking, two counts of drug possession, and additional counts of drug-related offenses, including possession of paraphernalia and marijuana. These charges were filed jointly by the Florida Highway Patrol and the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.
The male individual with Wegman was taken to a nearby hospital due to a prior leg injury and has not yet been charged in connection with the incident.
Wegman remains in custody without bond and is scheduled for her arraignment on May 12. Authorities have not released further details regarding the investigation or potential additional charges.
The peculiar setting of the arrest—a peaceful and preserved cemetery—adds an unsettling twist to an already unusual case. Law enforcement continues to monitor developments as the court date approaches.
