Grooms/Valentine charges
Two Cocke County Jail inmates face new charges after they were recently strip-searched by corrections officers. Officer Travis Mullins said he searched Spencer Grooms, 29, Keener Road, Cosby and Kyle Valentine, 28, Easy Street, Newport and found a tan, sandy substance on both men. The substance is believed to be heroin and so both men are charged with the introduction of contraband into a penal institution.
