A Florida woman picked up an extra felony charge when she wildly tried to smuggle nearly four grams of cocaine into a county jail through her “jail purse.”
Brevard County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested Reagan Cox, 30, on Saturday for resisting arrest during a traffic stop. When she arrived at the Brevard County Jail staff noticed something abnormal with Cox’s “lower region”, or her “jail purse area if you will.”
Corrections deputies escorted Cox to a changing room, where she attempted “to shield” her buttock with her hand, authorities said.
When staff removed her hand, a baggie dropped to the floor containing 3.8 grams of cocaine.
“You really just can’t make this stuff up … butt you sure can try as this one puts the ole … ’those are not my pants’ excuse to shame!!” wrote the sheriff’s office in a statement on Facebook.
Cox denied knowing about the cocaine and told deputies that someone must have placed it there during an “intimate encounter,” according to the statement.
She received an additional charge for bringing contraband into a detention facility, and was released from custody the same day.
Two or three felony charges and released the same day, why arrest them then? Take them to county prison until a magistrate or judge arraigns them and set a bail amount that is appropriate to the charges and flight risk and have her or him stay until that time they can bail out and place ankle monitors on them to keep track of them.
ReplyDeleteYou arrest them so you can get a list of charges and then you have something to hold against them when you arrest them the next time you can turn them into a rat.
