SUGARLOAF KEY (CBSMiami/AP) — A Key West stripper found passed out in her car on the side of the road in Sugarloaf Key told a sheriff's deputy that the illegal drugs in her purse were for her back pain.

Kayla Gregg, 23, was found early Monday morning asleep in her running car, with her breast exposed and skirt hiked up, by sheriff's Sgt. Ken Fricke. When he knocked on the window of her Pontiac Vibe she woke up.

The sheriff's office said when she went to open her purse to get her ID, Fricke noticed two plastic bags. One turned out to contain marijuana, the other cocaine, according to the sheriff's office.

A search of her purse also turned up oxycodone, morphine and other drugs, as well as a pipe.

When he asked her why she had all the drugs she said it was because her back hurts from being an adult dancer.  Gregg was charged with possession of marijuana, cocaine drug paraphernalia and four counts possession of controlled substances.
