Pike County Jail inmates Jimmy Norman and Gerald Johnson were caught this week smuggling drugs into the jail while on work release at the courthouse.

Scott says, Thursday afternoon, a woman was seen by a sheriff's deputy giving one of the inmates a cell phone. Norman and Johnson were caught with the phone, money and drugs. Kevin Hopkins, Morgan Bryant, and Candi Sawyers were allegedly supplying the items to the two inmates. Hopkins is charged with drug trafficking and trafficking within 1,000 feet of a school.
