A United States woman in Florida faces multiple charges after a police officer found marijuana hidden in an unusual place during a traffic stop.

She was charged with child neglect, possession of marijuana and driving with a suspended license and issued several citations.
The arresting deputy noticed that Sims’ niece was sitting in the front passenger seat without a seatbelt, eating something out of a pink lunchbox.
When they approached her vehicle the officer noted that it smelled strongly of marijuana and he asked her twice if she had anything illegal in the auto – to which she finally admitted she did, police said. She later clarified she put it in the child’s lunch box because she got scared when she was pulled over, deputies say.
According to the report, the deputy then opened the lunch box and found a metal grinder with approximately one gram of cannabis inside.
Police said they pulled over Sims after running the tags of her blue Infiniti and seeing that her license was suspended.
But when a Local 10 reporter confronted her about the incident, Sims simply brushed her hair with her hands and asked: ‘Are we done?’
Sims was all smiles as she walked out of jail Thursday night after being released on bond.
“Did you hide pot in a litte girl’s lunchbox?”

It is unclear how and if she was related to the child who was later handed over to her mother.
