A Florida arrest this week has law enforcement shaking their heads. According to sheriff’s deputies, a man taken into custody near Largo allegedly tried to bring fentanyl and Xanax into the Pinellas County jail inside his prosthetic leg.
Keith, 37, was a passenger during a traffic stop early Saturday, deputies said. They reported that he was sitting on a glass pipe with residue that tested positive for cocaine, and that he resisted when they moved to detain him. He was taken to the ground and handcuffed.
Before he was transported, deputies say they asked Keith whether anything was hidden in his prosthetic leg and warned him that bringing contraband into the jail would bring an added charge. According to the report, he told them no.
A search at the jail allegedly turned up about a gram of fentanyl and several Xanax pills inside the prosthetic. Those findings led to additional charges on top of the cocaine possession and resisting arrest counts. Court records show his bond was set at $7,650.
These are allegations from law enforcement, and Keith is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. We have not seen a response from him or an attorney.
