Man Jailed After Hiding Seven Grams Of Cocaine In His Foreskin

Over the years I've heard about people hiding drugs in certain places.

There's hidey holes, false walls, easily concealable boxes and cases. However, when it comes to hiding it on the human anatomy, the mouth and arsehole usually prevail.

Despite this, when Joshua Hare was found naked, with not a lot of places to hide his drugs, he went for a very different approach. Bypassing both the mouth and the anus, Joshua went straight for the foreskin.

Hare managed to get 7.2 grams of coke tucked under his foreskin in a Homebase car park at 8.30 in the morning on June 17.

Police were called by a member of the public. After putting up a bit of a fight, Hare was arrested and then taken to hospital to remove the white substance from his penis. Not that white substance.

The 24-year-old pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine and, after failing to surrender to bail, was jailed for a total of 12 weeks.

Keith Ballinger, prosecuting, described during the trial, rather graphically, how the wrap of drugs slowly 'emerged' from his genitals. Which, y'know, is enough to put you off your cornflakes.

Nick Redhead, who was defending Hare, said that his client has grown up with a troubled background, which includes problems with drugs and alcohol. He is currently being assessed for mental health issues.
