🚨 SNEAKING DRUGS INTO JAIL?
Reagan Paige Cox (30) was arrested in Rockledge early July 3rd — and it's not what she was carrying ON her that's the problem. It's what she was trying to bring IN.
Cox is charged with introducing controlled substances into a county detention facility — in other words, trying to smuggle drugs past the jailhouse doors. She also picked up resisting arrest, possession charges, and paraphernalia.
The booking photo says it all.
