Pattreon Stokes is being charged with stuffing over $1,000 into his rectum to try and hide it from police.
(MARION COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE)
according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
The 26-year-old was pulled over by authorities for speeding early Saturday morning. The deputy who pulled Stokes over smelled marijuana coming from inside the car and a search was carried out. Cops found 197 grams of methamphetamine, rock cocaine and 4 grams of heroin.
A small scale, a small amount of marijuana and a large amount of money were also found. Stokes also had a 7-month-old child in the car at the time.
However, when deputies later showed up to collect the money Stokes had on him, they discovered the cash was gone. Stokes allegedly claimed it had already been collected.
That's when deputies noticed a couple of $20 bills spilling out from his — how do we put this delicately? — buttocks.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office then briefly explained what happened next in an amusing Facebook post.
"After a necessary but undesirable process for everyone involved, MCSO Detention Deputies located $1,090.00 in U.S. currency hidden in Stokes' rectum. Judging from Stokes' mug shot, he looks pretty "bummed" about the whole situation…" the Facebook post read.
The page also joked about the cashiers in Marion County, saying they'd understand if they chose to use gloves on the job from now on.
Stokes was 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.
