Sharing is caring, but offering to share cocaine with a fellow inmate at the Johnson County Jail has led to a felony charge against a local transient.
An unidentified inmate approached a guard at the jail around 2pm Friday to report another inmate, 33-year-old Terrell Grant, had “hard drugs” in the cell block and offered to share them with him. Inmates were taken out of the G block and searched. A small baggie containing less than a gram of cocaine was found on top of a security camera in Grant’s cell.
Video from the camera shows Grant putting something above it about ten minutes before the search.
A second inmate later came forward to say that Grant had offered him cocaine as well.
Grant, whose driver’s license indicates he’s originally an Illinois resident, is charged with Possession of Contraband in a Correctional Facility. If convicted, he faces a maximum of five years in prison.
Grant is in jail on charges that he threatened a clerk at Smokin’ Joe’s on Broadway Street with a machete last Wednesday.
