Cocoa police arrested a 13-time convicted felon with more than 20 grams of fentanyl hidden under a child's car seat after a weekend traffic stop.
Corwin 'Sky' Mitchell, 29, who is currently awaiting trial on armed robbery and grand theft of a motor vehicle charges, was in a vehicle that was pulled over just after 1 p.m. July 6 near Prospect Avenue and Avon Place.
Officers, who saw Mitchell making "furtive" movements in the back seat of the car and detected the smell of marijuana, requested a K-9 for a "free air" sniff of the area, according to an arrest report.

Mitchell was charged with possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute, possession of paraphernalia, and child abuse. Mitchell has prior convictions involving felony drug possession, grand theft, burglary, and fleeing and eluding.
He is being held at the Brevard County Jail on a $26,500 bond.
