Mayfield Man Charged with Bringing Drugs Into Jail

By West Kentucky Star Staff

MAYFIELD - A Mayfield man has been charged with bringing drugs into the Graves County Jail.

The jail said in a press release that 27-year-old Tavon Carmen was arrested Saturday night. While being booked, Carman was reportedly seen throwing a plastic baggie of Suboxen pills down the hall. As Carman was being escorted to the jail's body scanner, he handed jail staff another bag of suspected methamphetamine.

Carman was charged with first degree promoting contraband, two counts of first degree possession of a controlled substance, first degree tampering with physical evidence and flagrant non-support.

  He should have put the drugs in his prison wallet.

  @GeeB. he probably works for them because his comments never get deleted but everyone else's does. Honestly they shouldn't even have where people can post comments.

  Kudos for getting the drugs out of the jail and now having a body scanner, but the arresting agency that had this guy in their custody for several hours prior to taking them to the County should have located them unless they were in his cavity. Every department should have a drug dog in their process room, trust me on this, they can hit on cavities. Drug dogs are not expensive but every lawsuit is.
