Police: Laxative required to get evidence from drug suspect
A 26-year-old man has been charged with tampering with evidence after police say he pushed a baggie that was suspected of containing drugs further up his rectum during a strip search at the Travis County Jail, an arrest affidavit said. Details.
[This is a very visual story. Are there enough related stories to keep this thread going?]
Williamson County District Attorney John Bradley took a swipe at a "cite and release" policy Austin police are planning to implement when he announced that a man received a 45-year prison sentence Wednesday after cocaine was found in his rectum during a search at the county jail.
Interesting that Laxative Man's case started off with a misdemeanor amount of marijuana. So he too, along with other Travis County offenders, could have avoided discovery by begging for a ticket.
