The man said the drugs were hidden in the mat in his cell, but officers were unable to find them.
However, they learned the drugs had been moved to a crack at the top of the shower. Officers retried a bag with a powdered substance that tested positive for fentanyl. Officers took photos of the evidence and submitted it to BCI for further testing.
