the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Several used drug items were found inside, according to court records.<\/p>\n<p>Those items included a glass pipe with residue and hypodermic needles.<\/p>\n<p>Court records also describe a needle tucked in the driver&#8217;s seat area.<\/p>\n<p>The needle was loaded with liquid, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n<p>That liquid field-tested positive for fentanyl, court records state.<\/p>\n<p>A search warrant was later obtained.<\/p>\n<p>A blood draw was then taken from Jackson, according to court records.<\/p>\n<h2>Bail And Court Date<\/h2>\n<p>Court records state Jackson has a prior fifth-degree drug conviction from 2017.<\/p>\n<p>On April 17, bail or bond without conditions was set at $40,000.<\/p>\n<p>Bond with standard conditions was set at $4,000.<\/p>\n<p>Cash bail with conditions was set at $400.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson\u2019s next court appearance is set for May 11.<\/p>\n<p>The hearing is scheduled before District Judge Michelle Lawson.<\/p>\n<p>The charges are
