Nick and Aaron Carter’s sister Bobbie Jean is booked for possession of fentanyl that cops found when they were arresting her for stealing $55 worth of goods from a Hobby Lobby store

Bobbie Jean Carter, sister of Nick and Aaron Carter, was arrested Saturday for allegedly stealing arts and crafts goods from a Hobby Lobby store.

But the situation took a more serious turn when law enforcement discovered that she was also in possession of fentanyl.

According to the arrest report obtained by TMZ, Bobbie Jean, 41, was accused of stealing six items from Hobby Lobby in Hernando County, Florida, with a total value slightly exceeding $55. 

The store’s loss prevention team alerted sheriff’s deputies after Bobbie Jean was seen removing items from the shelves, stuffing them into her purse, and exiting the store without making any attempt to pay for the merchandise.

When deputies confronted Bobbie Jean in the store’s loss prevention office, they noted that she appeared agitated and in a state of panic purportedly tossed a small blue container from her purse beneath a nearby desk. 

The deputies promptly located the container, discovering 1.3 grams of white powder and 0.8 grams of purple powder inside. Following a field test, it was revealed that the purple powder tested positive for fentanyl.

After being taken into custody, Bobbie Jean’s behavior further raised concerns. 

She reportedly made threats to harm herself while en route to the jail, uttering the distressing words ‘I’m just going to have to kill myself.’ 

Authorities therefore decided to place her under suicide watch during her time in the detention facility.

Eventually, Bobbie Jean was officially charged with one count of retail theft and one count of possession of fentanyl.

She currently remains in custody as she has not yet posted bond.

Bobbie Jean is the younger sister of Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter, and the second of five Carter children. 

The Carter family has suffered considerable heartbreak, with two of the five siblings having died at a young age amid battles with addiction and mental health issues.  

Aaron Carter, a rapper, was found dead in a bathtub late last year of a suspected drug overdose and subsequent drowning after a long battle with mental health problems

Their sibling Aaron, a rapper, was found dead in a bathtub late last year from a suspected drug overdose and subsequent drowning after a long battle with mental health problems. 

Following Aaron’s death at the age of 34, his twin sister Angel paid a heartbreaking tribute to her late brother on Instagram.

‘To my twin… I loved you beyond measure. You will be missed dearly. My funny, sweet Aaron, I have so many memories of you and I, and I promise to cherish them,’ she wrote. 

Angel continued: ‘I know you’re at peace now. I will carry you with me until the day I die and get to see you again.’ 

Meanwhile, Leslie Carter, who was also a pop singer whose debut album ranked in the US Billboard Top 100, died in similar circumstances to her brother aged just 25.
