Overview
- A traffic-stop arrest that took place Saturday led to Reagan Cox being booked on a resisting-arrest charge and then accused of bringing contraband into the Brevard County jail.
- Sheriff Wayne Ivey says a booking scanner flagged an abnormality in Cox’s lower region and deputies moved her to a changing room where a baggie fell to the floor after her hand was removed.
- Authorities reported the baggie contained roughly 3.8 grams of cocaine, prompting the additional charge of introduction of contraband into a detention facility.
- Cox denies knowing about the drugs and told deputies someone could have put the baggie there during an 'intimate encounter,' an explanation that remains unproven and may be tested in court.
- The sheriff’s office published a mocking Facebook post about the incident, Cox was released the same day, and the case now proceeds through the legal system where penalties for the contraband charge can be pursued.
