Abnormalities were detected in the lower part of her body, which the investigation team described as the \u201cjail purse area\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Corrections officers took Ms Cox to a change room, where an intensive search of her person would be conducted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It was reported that the woman attempted to cover her buttocks with her hand, but when the corrections officers removed her hand, a baggy containing 3.8 grams of cocaine fell to the floor, as per the statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to the officials, Cox claimed ignorance regarding the drugs, claiming that cocaine could have been planted during an intimate act.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Cox was now additionally charged with the introduction of contraband into a detention facility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sheriff\u2019s Office took a lighthearted stance on the matter on its <a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02KDrbyvU2bZ98hY6frdARttLd475kfxDJbN1nnytk32MyuJ6MTtped8BHAoC32s53l&amp;id=100064851632036&amp;mibextid=wwXIfr\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Facebook page;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Facebook page&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Facebook page<\/a>, joking: \u201cYou really just can\u2019t make this stuff up\u2026 butt you sure can try as this one puts the ole \u2026 \u2018those are not my pants\u2019 excuse to shame!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The statement went: \u201cThere\u2019s just not much else to say about this one, folks, other than Cox received an additional charge for Introduction of Contraband into a Detention Facility for bringing cocaine into the jail facility!! Folks, if not realizing that someone left cocaine in your \u2018Jail Purse,\u2019 is not a good enough reminder to not do drugs, then I don\u2019t know what is!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s unknown whether additional criminal penalties will be imposed on the woman, whose online inmate records show she was already released from custody the same day. It\u2019s unclear whether the woman has pleaded guilty and hired a defense lawyer yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a href=\"https:\/\/whereisthebuzz.com\/florida-womans-bizarre-explanation-for-hidden-cocaine-has-deputies-shaking-their-heads\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Florida Woman\u2019s Bizarre Explanation for Hidden Cocaine Has Deputies Shaking Their Heads;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Florida Woman\u2019s Bizarre Explanation for Hidden Cocaine Has Deputies Shaking Their Heads&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Florida Woman\u2019s Bizarre Explanation for Hidden Cocaine Has Deputies Shaking Their Heads<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/whereisthebuzz.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Where Is The Buzz | Breaking News, Entertainment, Exclusive Interviews &amp; More;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Where Is The Buzz | Breaking News, Entertainment, Exclusive Interviews &amp;amp&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Where Is The Buzz | Breaking News, Entertainment, Exclusive Interviews &amp; More<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reagan Cox A Florida woman is now facing additional criminal charges following allegations that she attempted to smuggle&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":328234,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[315,127869,96770,135526,28,30,29,135525],"class_list":["post-328233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-brevard-county","tag-brevard-county-jail","tag-corrections-officers","tag-cox","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-inmate-records"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=328233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328233\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/328234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=328233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=328233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=328233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
