MARION – The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office recently cited a man for Possession of Adulterants and Obstructing Justice after using a heated synthetic urine device to evade drug testing.

Joseph E. Poore arrived at the Williamson County Jail for court ordered urinalysis drug testing Saturday.

Before entering the secured area of the jail, Poore underwent security screening which discovered he was concealing a white plastic bottle containing a yellow liquid under his clothing on the inside of his thigh.

It contained synthetic urine and was accompanied by a heating element secured by tape. Poore possessed this item in an attempt to defraud the court ordered drug screening.

Poore was then cited and lodged in the Williamson County Jail.
