DeKalb County Sheriff’s deputies make arrests in two contraband drops at county jail

DECATUR, GA– DeKalb County Sheriff’s deputies made arrests last weekend in two separate contraband drops at the DeKalb County.

Latrenia Renee Reives, 21, of Decatur was arrested March 30 on charges of Criminal Trespass and Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor, both misdemeanors. According to warrants, Reives was apprehended around midnight after she allegedly drove a vehicle up to the jail. Her passenger, later determined to be a minor child, left the car and attached a bag to a rope dangling from an inmate cell window.

Although officers stopped the vehicle, the bag and its unverified contents were pulled up into the inmate cell. Officers searched and impounded the suspect’s vehicle, where they found 12 clear bags of a brown substance. The minor was taken into temporary custody by a relative. Reives was taken into custody without incident and later released on bond.

Later the same day, officers were alerted to an attempted contraband drop near the jail lobby, where a woman was observed in an unauthorized area walking away from a black bag at a fire exit door. Deputies arrested Erica Curry, 23, of Decatur, after she attempted to flee the scene while being detained for questioning. Curry was booked into the jail on charges of Crossing Guard Lines with Weapons, Intoxicants or Drugs without Consent of Warden or Superintendent and Items Prohibited for Possession by Inmates, both felonies; Obstructing or Hindering Law Enforcement Officer, Giving False Name, Address or Birthdate to Law Enforcement, Drugs Not in Original Container, and Possession of Marijuana Less that an Ounce.

Among the items inside the black bag confiscated during the arrest were cell phone instruction manuals, Smartphone sim ejection pins, two smartphones, one iPhone, four phone charges, one smartphone adapter, one Motorola phone with charger, one bag of tobacco papers, three packs of Raw rolling papers, six packs of Bugler original papers, vape cartridges, a bag of limeade, a bag of green substance, bags of brown substance, a bag of 39 multicolored pills, a container of white pills, one gray and black sock and a Walmart store receipt.

Curry has been granted release on bond but remains in custody, authorities said.
