Inmate busted after telling mom where to find his stash

Jails across Florida record every inmate phone call.

Inmates know it: There's a warning at the beginning of every call.

Shortly after being busted last week on drug trafficking charges, Franco Mayernik called his mother from the Osceloa County jail -- and talked his way into another set of drug charges.

Mayernik, a 300-pound convicted robber with tattoos of guns and White Boy on his tummy, apparently didn't pay attention to the recorded warning, reports the Orlando Sentinel.

I listened to the phone conversation and heard his mother ask him if he left anything at Spank's house, a detective wrote in his arrest report, mentioning a St. Cloud residence where Mayernik had been arrested. Franco told his mother he left two ounces of powder in the cushion on the couch.

Deputies arrived at Spank's place and asked the residents for permission to search the house. They agreed, but one of the residents first wanted to remove her dog from a bedroom, the report stated.

A detective looked inside the bedroom and moticed the resident removing two bags of cocaine from a shoe.

The snowshoes were holding 57 grams of cocaine and 2 grams of oxycodone.

The recovery of the cocaine added a cocaine trafficking charge to Mayernik's list of 15 felony and misdemeanors charges from last week.
