Tomnis Yahyme Cox, 25, of 904 Devereaux St., is charged with felony possession of a controlled substance on prison/jail premises.
Maj. Tom Effler with the sheriff's office said officers were preparing to take Cox to court to face charges of driving while license revoked and possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana when they noticed the smell of marijuana coming from his person.
They searched him and found the drug on his person, according to a press release.

He was given a $25,000 secured bond and remained in the detention center.
