An inmate at the Warren County Jail is being charged with a felony after a makeshift knife was found in his cell.

Brandin M. Moore, 28, of St. Louis, was charged April 22 with possession of a weapon at a county jail.

The weapon was found in Moore’s jail cell April 3, according to a Warren County Sheriff’s Department report. Deputies described it as a 5-inch knife, made from a razor blade and a shaving blade handle, fused together with a melted e-cigarette.

When deputies asked Moore who the blade belonged to, he allegedly responded that “he would take responsibility” for it, the sheriff’s department said.
