A Miami woman is charged with multiple counts of petition fraud and perjury.

According to a release from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Jessica Sonia Humphreys, 24, is charged with 72 counts of petition fraud and 72 counts of perjury.

In January of 2023, FDLE agents were made aware of “numerous fraudulent petitions” for the constitutional amendment regarding the use of marijuana. Humphreys, a paid petition gatherer for “Safe and Smart Florida,” submitted the petitions.

The Santa Rosa County Supervisor of Elections notified agents that Humphreys submitted other potentially fraudulent petitions using fictitious names.
