CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Cuyahoga County Jail corrections officer is accused of selling marijuana, heroin, cocaine and ecstasy.

Brian Salters, 39, is charged with first-degree felony aggravated drug trafficking and drug possession and third-degree felony drug trafficking. He posted $10,000 bond after his first court appearance on Friday.

Salters, who has been a corrections officer since September 2013, is on unpaid administrative leave pending the outcome of the case, according to Cuyahoga County spokeswoman Mary Louise Madigan.

Cleveland police vice detectives on Thursday conducted surveillance of Mr. C Liquor Store on Shaw Avenue during an investigation into suspected drug trafficking, according to police reports.

The officers saw Salters sell marijuana to a 61-year-old man on the side of the building, police reports say.

The 61-year-old man told police he bought the drugs from Salters, police reports say. Officers walked up to Salters after the deal was finished and noticed a large amount of marijuana inside his car, police reports say.

They also noticed his Cuyahoga County Sheriff badge. Salters told the officers "I smoke a lot of weed," according to police reports.

Police searched Salters' car and found an unloaded gun, a box of ammunition, 28 bags of marijuana, four bags of crack cocaine, two bags of heroin, two bags of ecstasy pills, and a pill bottle with 20 unidentified pills in a Pringles can that had heroin residue inside, according to police reports.

They also seized two cellphones and $1,722. Salters has not been accused of selling drugs at the jail.

Salters is the second county jail officer to be charged with drug dealing in two months.

Kamara Austin, 43, is accused of trying to smuggle heroin and pills into the county jail for an accused rapist.

He was arrested in March and accused of trying to smuggle 16 grams of heroin and 32 unidentified yellow pills into the jail for Anthony Lett, who is accused of raping a woman during a home invasion and stealing guns from the Berea gun show, court records say.

Austin is in the county jail on $100,000 bond while his case is pending.
