Cordell 'Cordural' Cowan

An East Spencer man arrested on a trespassing charge also received a felony drug charge after police found crack cocaine in a "private area."

A Salisbury Police Department officer arrested Cordell "Cordural" Cowan, 22, of 511 E. Division Ave., just before 9:30 p.m. Sunday on a charge of second-degree trespassing at the Wilco Hess at 500 E. Innes St.

Once Cowan was transported to the Rowan County Detention Center and searched, police say they found 3 grams of crack cocaine hidden on his person in a private area. He then was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance inside of a jail or prison.

The report did not specify the area of Cowan's body where police said they found the drugs.

A secured bond of $1,500 was issued for the first charge and $10,000 for the second. Cowan was set to appear in court Monday.
