BIBB COUNTY, Ga. — A Macon attorney accused of attempting to smuggle thousands of dollars worth of synthetic marijuana into the Bibb County Jail was denied bond Friday during a court hearing.

Prosecutors allege Kevin Paul Bradley, 60, coordinated with an incarcerated man at the jail who was not one of his clients before delivering an envelope containing documents coated with synthetic marijuana, commonly known as K2.

During the hearing, Assistant District Attorney Rachel Smith told Superior Court Judge F. Gates Peed that the envelope contained 83 pages of evidence allegedly soaked with the drug. Prosecutors said each page could sell for about $600 inside the jail, giving the materials an estimated street value of nearly $48,000.

Smith argued Bradley used his position as an attorney to bypass jail security procedures by disguising the drug-coated pages as legal discovery documents. Prosecutors also alleged the incident was not isolated.

Smith said Bradley admitted to participating in multiple similar deliveries and told investigators he was paid $1,000 for at least one of the drop-offs. Prosecutors argued those statements demonstrated knowledge of and involvement in obstruction of justice.

Bradley’s attorney, John Carter, argued his client did not know the documents were contaminated with K2 and said Bradley cooperated with investigators throughout the case. Carter also told the court Bradley has no prior criminal history and is not considered a flight risk.

Carter requested a $5,000 bond, but Peed denied the request.

Bradley has been held at the Lamar County Jail since Tuesday. He is charged with possession of a Schedule I controlled substance with intent to distribute and crossing state and county guard lines with drugs without consent.
