Jacksonville, Fla. — It’s ten more months in prison for a Jacksonville man after he was caught with marijuana in federal custody.
U.S. District Judge Marcia Morales Howard has sentenced Anthony Grier, 33, to 10 months in federal prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, for possessing marijuana while in federal custody at the Nassau County Jail.
According to court documents, Grier was being held in the Nassau County Jail as a federal inmate after he was sentenced to 7 months in prison for violating his federal supervision.
On Feb 11, deputies from the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office detected the scent of marijuana and traced it to the cell occupied by Grier.
A law enforcement drug canine alerted to the odor, but no marijuana was found in the cell. Grier was escorted out of the cell to be searched. Before the search began, Grier produced a medical glove containing 15 marijuana cigarettes that he had on him, according to the Department of Justice.
This case was investigated by the United States Marshals Service.
