Smoking in the Boys Cell
The man accused of murdering seven people last month in Marion County was apparently caught smoking marijuana in his jail cell, but he will not be charged with drug possession.
According to a jail incident report obtained by WXNT News (i.e. me), on June 8 a corrections officer smelled marijuana coming from Desmond Turner’s cell. When the guard approached the cell, Turner bent over his bunk as if her were trying to hide something, according to the report.
The report also says the officer asked Turner what he was hiding, he replied “not a damn thing.” As the officer called for assistance Turner flushed the drugs down the toilet.
Turner was removed from cell, which was searched, and officers found a small amount of marijuana residue under his mattress. Turner was later stripped searched for more drugs which at the time the report says he threatened the officers.
A jail spokesman says because the items were flushed down the toilet there was not enough evidence to file charges, however Turner was later charged with several jail rule violations, including possession and use of drugs and threatening an officer.
The spokesman also says Turner apparently swallowed the drugs prior to his capture and later “released” them once he was behind bars.

You have to ask yourself a couple questions. WHo was mindng the store on this one and where the hell did Turner get the light? I feel safe. More to come, stay tuned.
