Two men and one woman were arrested on multiple felony charges after Houston County detention officers say they found narcotics within a letter meant for a detainee.

That's the second instance of substance smuggling at the Houston County Sheriff's Office Detention Center in less than a week.

Ashley Mock of Perry, Jered McCain of Fort Valley and James Tolbert of Warner Robins were arrested Tuesday, according to a release.

McCain was already in jail on charges related to Financial Card Fraud and Violation of Probation Superior Court.

The three are now being held without bond at the jail.

Last Friday, two men were accused of attempting to smuggle prescription drugs into Houston County's detention center, according to a release.

A detention officer found a substance in a letter sent to Sonny Bennett of Macon. He was already being held on charges for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana as well as a state warrant for bail jumping.

Perry police say they arrested four prostitutes and five suspected pimps at Central Georgia hotels Wednesday.

They say the arrests came out of a sting aimed at finding victims of human trafficking, juvenile prostitutes and their pimps.

During the sting, Perry police, Macon and Atlanta FBI offices, Georgia Department of Corrections and Sandy Springs Police Department worked together.

They say they didn't find any minors involved. Instead, officials found four adult females and five males at Perry-area hotels.

Scott Mander, 39, Rodney Cooper, Jr., 26,William Redford, 30, Daniel Washburn, 29, all of Macon, and William Rowell, 54, of Warner Robins were charged with pimping.

Amanda Hulsey, 20, of Warner Robins, Kelly Roberts, 43, also from Warner Robins, Kristy Ussery, 22, of Macon and Judith Hammock of Lizella were all charged with prostitution.

All eight were being held Thursday in the Houston County jail.

A judge says the trial of murder suspect Russell Holt will take place in Houston County after all.

Judge Tilman Self on Friday ruled on two motions filed by Holt's lawyer and rejected both.

Holt is accused of shooting and killing his girlfriend, Jessica Wolf, to death last year.

Self also declined to throw out videotaped statements that Holt made to himself during an interrogation on March 18, 2012.

Holt's lawyer, Franklin Hogue, argued that Holt had asked 14 times to have a lawyer present, but investigators continued to question him anyway.

Generally, police must stop questioning a witness if they ask to have a lawyer present, and any statements they make after that may not be used during a trial.

According to Self's ruling, prosecutors have agreed not to use any statements that Holt made to investigators after he asked for a lawyer. But they can use statements that he "mumbled" to himself after police left the room.
