Although not illegal to possess, marijuana pipes are among the items not allowed into secure facilities. The pipe was inside a canvas sport bag carried by Wayne Allen Orman, 6404 N. Perry, said Sheriff's spokesman Dave Reagan. Orman was issued a criminal citation and released on his signature. Packages and purses are routinely checked by X-ray at security stations in the Public Safety Building, the Spokane County Courthouse and Juvenile Court and Detention. Other items not allowed into secure buildings include firearms and ammunition, knives longer than three inches, any type of chemical defense sprays or flammable liquids, box cutters, razor knives and skateboards. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
