Summary
Inside Douglas County Jail, a shocking drug bust unfolded when inmates allegedly used lithium batteries from broken tablets to smoke K2 — a synthetic drug known to mess with your head. Two young inmates, already facing serious charges like gun crimes and attempted murder, now face felony counts for trafficking the drug inside. The tip came from another inmate who said Clem sold K2-laced papers to Jernigan, who paid with commissary funds — though Jernigan denied any drugs were involved. Officers found K2-laced paper in legal mail, and while one accused denied involvement, the other vowed to take the fall. The informant, a 21-year-old, refused a deal to break a tablet for K2 and instead reported it — a move that landed him in prison too. Both accused are now locked up with million-dollar bonds.
