A man was recently arrested by the police following a traffic stop when they found he was carrying an assortment of drugs and a large amount of money.They however got even more surprise upon getting to the station and found the cash had disappeared but $20 bills were falling out of his rectum.
26-year-old Pattreon Stokes, was arrested by a policeman in Florida for speeding in the early hours of the morning last Saturday, cops said in a Facebook post.
During the stop, the officer smelled marijuana and upon searching the car, he found methamphetamine, rock cocaine and heroin. A scale was also recovered from the vehicle.
Police said Stokes was carrying a “small amount of marijuana and a large amount of currency on his person.” They arrested him and brought him to Marion County Jail.
But when they got there, cops said the money they found earlier was gone. Stokes claimed that deputies had already collected it, but “this was certainly not true,” police wrote in the post.
“Detention deputies then noticed something quite unusual…” the post reads. “They observed $20 bills falling from Stokes’ buttocks area.”
In a process cops called “necessary but undesirable” for everyone involved, they found $1,090.00 in U.S. currency hidden in Stokes’ rectum.
“Judging from Stokes’ mug shot, he looks pretty ‘bummed’ about the whole situation,” police joked.
The Facebook post went on to apologise to the “wonderful cashiers” in Marion County, writing that they would understand if cash handlers chose to use gloves.
Stokes is charged with smuggling contraband into a detention facility, trafficking methamphetamine, trafficking heroin, possession of cocaine with the intent to sell, manufacture or deliver, possession of marijuana and possession of drug equipment.
