A 23-year-old Salem man suspected of possessing heroin is facing a second charge after he appeared at a Marion County courthouse Monday with heroin in his pocket, sheriff's deputies say.

Michael Durban was scheduled to be arraigned on the first charge but didn't make it past security, said Sgt. Chris Baldridge, a sheriff's office spokesman.

As Durban walked through screening, deputies found hypodermic needles and a cotton ball that they think contained heroin, Baldridge said.

Durban reportedly said he got "mixed up" and thought he left the items in his car.

He was arrested and faces another count of heroin possession, Baldridge said. Durban is scheduled to appear in court at Tuesday afternoon.
