They also arrested Iris Trent, 24, for conspiring to deliver drugs to prisoners.
Police arrested Cosby after he retrieved the drugs and charged him with possessing heroin and marijuana, as well as conspiracy and two counts of possessing a controlled substance as a prisoner.
They charged Hicks with one count of conspiracy to possess a controlled substance as a prisoner.
