It’s a test Jacksonville sheriff’s officers have been using for more than 10 years. The kit from Scott Company lets officers test cocaine in the field and it’s long been presumptive — only enough for probable cause.
What we’ve done since we discovered, the issue is that we have basically placed an in house recall of the test kits, and we are suspending the use of them at this time until we can come up with a remedy for this issue,” said JSO Asst. Chief Edwin Cayenne. That means someone charged with cocaine possession could potentially have charges dropped and someone held in jail might be released on a lower bond.
