His arraignment was postponed to July 19.
The /*Beverly Hills*/ defense attorney was arrested Tuesday morning after entering a secure area of the courthouse to visit two defendants he was representing in a burglary and stolen property case.
Sheriff's deputies using a drug-sniffing dog allegedly discovered a baggie of heroin in a secure area where only Inman was waiting. The criminal complaint alleges that Inman possessed 14.25 grams of heroin.
Inman remains jailed on $190,000 bond. If convicted, he faces up to five years in state prison.
Inman has been disciplined by the legal regulatory agency once before, and is currently being investigated for financial irregularities that could leave him ineligible to practice law, according to Bar Association records.
