A man was jailed late Friday on felony charges of selling cooked flour as crack cocaine.

Police say they found a large "rock" of flour, plus six individually wrapped small "rocks" of the substance on John Lemarcus McLaurin, 23, of 218 Northwood Circle.

McLaurin was charged with possession with intent to sell or deliver counterfeit controlled substances and was being held Saturday in lieu of $4,000 secured bond, warrants said.

Warrants did not indicate where McLaurin is accused of selling the fraudulent crack cocaine.
