A Florida woman was searched when being booked into the county jail, and authorities found 3.8 grams of cocaine that had been stuffed up what’s been described as her “jail purse”. Her explanation for how it got there left the sheriff’s office highly amused.
Reagan Cox, 30, was reportedly arrested on Saturday (as per Click Orlando) for resisting arrest during a traffic stop. A Facebook post by the sheriff’s office says that when she arrived at the Brevard County Jail, staff became suspicious that something was going on with Cox’s “lower region”:
“As Cox was being processed through the scanner, an abnormality was seen in the “lower region” of her person or “Jail Purse” area if you will.”
They whipped out the latex gloves and escorted Cox to a changing room, where it’s reported she attempted to “shield” her butt with her hands. When a member of the jail staff removed her hand, a bag of cocaine fell to the floor.
Cox then attempted to talk her way out of the situation. She said she had no idea there was a bag of cocaine concealed within her body, and explained to the deputies that an unknown person must have placed it there without her knowledge during an “intimate encounter”.
“You just can’t make this stuff up”
A statement by the sheriff’s office indicates they didn’t believe this excuse for a second. On Facebook, they wrote:
“Now here’s why we say you just can’t make this stuff up as when the baggie dropped to the floor, Cox spontaneously uttered that she knew nothing about the drugs and that someone must have put it in there during an “intimate encounter!!”
They added:
“Folks, if not realizing that someone left cocaine in your ‘Jail Purse’ is not a good enough reminder to not do drugs, then I don’t know what is!!”
Cox picked up an extra felony charge for bringing contraband into a detention facility and was reportedly released from custody the same day. There is no indication when Cox is next due in court, and she has not publicly commented on the incident.
In the meantime, Florida has been busy with unusual happenings. Another Florida woman is insisting she’s God after having allegedly ambushed and killed a deputy (she’s also saying she can possess the trial judge). On top of that, the state is said to be dealing with “zombie-like squirrels with oozing warts“, an Airbnb couple was faced with what appeared to be an alligator hiding in their swimming pool, and a thrift store is still trying to figure out who left a human skull in their donation box.
