Martin County Florida law enforcement officers made a surprising discovery while processing 28 year-old arrestee Ramon Blair. Blair had been fingered by the ubiquitous reliable, confidential informant as riding around town with $100 worth of crack cocaine on his person.
According to affidavits filed by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, Blair was riding in a white, 4-door, hubcapless Pontiac accompanied by an unidentified woman. When stopped, Blair has that tell-tale white powder just north of the philtrum in the right nostril and looked for all the world like the drug possessor he would eventually be factually proven to be — allegedly, of course. Blair was arrested after helpfully advising that the powder didn’t need to be tested as it was cocaine after all.
Lo and behold, the world was full of reliable and confidential informants that day as one magically appeared on the scene to advise that Blair had another $300 worth of crack on his person somewhere. The arresting deputy was unable to find it, but more savvy folks at the jail knew the drill. Being asked to disrobe, squat, and cough in the jail cell, the offending contraband dropped into the laps of law enforcement, so to speak, coming conveniently packaged in a white paper towel. The talkative Blair confirmed the newly discovered “rocks,” like the powder before, were cocaine as well.
Blair is being held without bond on charges of possession of cocaine. No word yet on whether the unidentified lady driver was wearing red or answered to the name Anna Sage.

the title of this post is certainly why you will win prestigious awards again in 2012…keep it up JT
Surely the hidden product was at least in a plastic baggie – otherwise body fluids might induce absorption!
As much as police are dissed, this search is one task you have to respect them for.
ha! bet the cops planted that on him, er in him.
In 2003, my hometown paper, the La Crosse, WI, Tribune, ran the following headline: “Body Cavity Search Reveals Crack[.]” Same scenario. The story’s too old to be online anymore, but it used to be on their online site.
How was the contraband then processed?
And if they’d not been informed, and he’d been put in the tank, would anyone have come and asked: “Whazzup, man?”
Similar story just outside Chicago this week.

I’m not going to touch this story.
I wonder if crack tastes better after being “marinated”?

He does have a psychiatric defense to possession of controlled substance. Anal Retentive Disorder. It is in the DSM V. Anal Retention Disorder is a cousin– where one holds onto the thought or item for a longer time.
