Man allegedly stuffs teddy bear with pills
A man who allegedly admitted stuffing a teddy bear with a slew of prescription painkillers was arraigned on a federal complaint Friday.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Clifford Shirley arraigned Brian Andrew Fox on a drug-dealing charge and set a Jan. 19 preliminary hearing.
According to a complaint filed by Knox County Sheriff's Office Deputy Jeremiah Johnson, Fox admitted he hid 551 narcotic painkillers in a teddy bear.
Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Kelly Smith found the pill-stuffed bear in Fox's car after a drug-detecting dog alerted him to the presence of narcotics, the complaint stated.
Fox, who also faces felony drug charges in Lexington, Ky., is being held in jail pending a hearing.
