There’s really no good place to hide drugs on your person, as this entails possessing drugs on your person and having reason to hide them.
Still … this guy:
Meet Joshua Hare.
When you’re naked in a parking lot, and you’re about to be arrested by the cops with 7.2 grams of cocaine, you find ways to improvise.
Limited, but creative ways.
Police officers in Swindon, UK, uncovered the aforementioned narcotics hidden in the 24-year-old’s foreskin, according to media reports.
Yes. His foreskin.
This all went down June 17 when police were called to a furniture store after a man was shouting and disturbing customers in the parking lot.
When officers arrived, the naked Hare ran around and put up a bit of a struggle before being restrained, taken into custody and hospitalized.
He actually did a good job concealing his drugs, for a time. But while in custody, a baggie containing white powder began to “emerge.”
If you know what we mean.
Hare’s attorney, Nick Redhead, told the court that his client has a troubled past, substance abuse problems and mental health issues.
Redhead says he suffered kidney issues when in custody earlier this year after being arrested for aggravated taking of a vehicle without consent.
“He fell into a coma and thought he was going to die,” Redhead said. “The damage to him as such is he is a high risk of killing himself.”
No one wants that. At all.
Hare clearly needs help, however, and he pleaded guilty to both the drug charge and failing to surrender to bail, according to reports.
It’s always difficult when it comes to punishments fitting the crime for someone who may be suffering from addiction and mental problems.
Redhead hoped that officials would be lenient when sentencing his client for the offense, and received mixed results in that department.
As punishment, the court activated the 12-week suspended sentence he had been given in May for the previous vehicular theft charge.
Hare was also fined $ 151.
