Video Florida sheriff's office announces massive drug, weapons bust The Brevard County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday announced it seized 92,000 pounds of an illegal substance and an arsenal of weapons and explosive devices.
How did that get there? That's what police in Florida say a woman asked over the weekend after the jail scanner picked up an abnormality in her "lower region" and a baggie of cocaine allegedly hit the floor while she was in a change out room.
The Brevard County Sheriff's Office reported that Reagan Cox was arrested on charges of resisting an officer without violence during a traffic stop. There's not a mention of why she was stopped in the first place, but that's neither here nor there.
The story picked up after she was transported to jail and the scanner noticed something in what Sheriff Wayne Ivey described in a Facebook post about the alleged incident as her "Jail Purse."

CALLING 911 BECAUSE A BAR WON’T SERVE YOU A JELL-O SHOT IS WHAT POLICE REFER TO AS A MISUSE OF SERVICES
"Our Corrections Deputies moved Cox to a change out room where she was observed trying to cover her buttocks area with her hand," the sheriff wrote about what took place after the abnormality was picked up by the scanner. "After moving her hand, a baggie dropped to the floor containing approximately 3.8 grams of cocaine!!"
Cox is alleged to have said that "she knew nothing about the drugs." She then, according to Ivey, pointed the finger at someone who "must have put it in there during an 'intimate encounter!!'"

The accuracy of that version of how the alleged baggie of drugs made its way into the jail will more than likely have to be decided during a court proceeding of some kind, because Cox picked up another charge.
On top of her resisting without violence charge, she was charged with introduction of contraband into a detention facility.

Ivey ended the Facebook post with some knowledge for the public to keep in mind as they're navigating their way through daily life.
He wrote, "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!!"
