Man found with cocaine up his buttocks says it's not his

[Gimgak]

MANATEE — A search of a 25-year-old man following a traffic stop Wednesday morning revealed one bag of marijuana and one bag of cocaine in the driver’s buttocks, according to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office. The driver said only the marijuana belonged to him.
Raymond Stanley Roberts was pulled over at 8:40 a.m. in the 500 block of 63rd Avenue East. Approaching the Hyundai, deputies said they could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle, according to the report.
After writing a speeding ticket, one of the deputies asked Roberts if he smoked marijuana and when had he done it last. According to the arrest report, Roberts replied that he smoked the night before and there was nothing in the car. He then told the two deputies to search the car.

While searching Roberts’ person, deputies felt a soft object in his buttocks. The report said Roberts then said, “Let me get it,” and pulled out a clear plastic bag of marijuana weighing 4.5 grams.
He was then asked if he was holding anything else, and Roberts said no.
Deputies then felt another soft object in the same area and pulled it out through the exterior of Roberts’ shorts. The object was a bag with 27 pieces of rock cocaine weighing 3.5 grams, the report stated.
When the bag fell to the ground, Roberts immediately said, according to the report, “The white stuff is not mine, but the weed is.” He then stated that his friend had borrowed the vehicle before and he saw the cocaine on the passenger seat when he was pulled over.
Roberts has been charged with possession of rock cocaine and marijuana. He was released Wednesday from Manatee County jail after posting a $1,120 bond.

I believe him.

I know, I hate when that happens, always at the most inconvenient times too.

Heard about this lol.

That is a true friend if he will stick it up his butt

Well, he's innocent until proven guilty (unless that's different in the US). And, we don't have proof that it is in fact his, so he's innocent so far.

I'd imagine that if it's on your body, whether in this fashion or even in your pocket, that would be illegal.

But there are so many possibilities, and any could be right, eg. he was drugged and cocaine was shoved up his arse, or he thought it was something soothing etc.

If he says it's not his, then of course he then needs to provide possibilities as to how it got there, and if he can't then, it's not looking any good for him. Also, police can't just say he's lying based on a gut feeling; they need evidence to say that his comments are not truthful. If I was drugged, I wouldn't want to take the fall after realizing cocaine is in his buttocks.

Surely possession is 9/10ths of the law is it not? :lol:

Only if they are not mentally incompetent and if they are not affected by some external factor, other than that, yes, possession is 9/10 of the law 😛

Nope, we've got innocent until proven guilty here in the US.

We've allegedly got innocent until proven guilty. 😉

Maybe he acidently sat on the cocaine?

Kind of like the whole paris hilton crack thing, but at least he skipped the middle man and just put it right up there.
