Strip Search Finds Crack Between Buttocks

SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. -- A deputy said the strip search of a "belligerent" man after a traffic stop turned up crack cocaine in a plastic bag tucked between the man’s buttocks.

The Spartanburg County deputy using speed radar on U.S. Highway 176 said that at about 3 a.m. Tuesday, a vehicle passed him going 51 mph in a 35 mph zone, according to a police report.

The officer said that he pulled over the 2006 black Nissan Altima in the vicinity of Springfield Road.

The driver was identified as 23-year-old Marvel Foster. He was the only person in the car, the deputy said.

According to the police report, Foster told the deputy he didn’t have a driver’s license. The deputy said that he noticed a leafy substance on the floor of the driver’s side, and the car smelled of cologne.

The deputy said that a check determined that Foster’s license had been suspended for a drug violation.

The deputy called for another officer to assist and searched Foster’s car after he agreed to allow it. The deputies said Foster also agreed to let them search his person.

The police report said that the deputies found $1,757 in Foster’s pocket that he said he got from his girlfriend. The deputies then searched the vehicle and said that they also found two bags of a leafy green substance. The officers said at this point, Foster became belligerent and they arrested him.

Deputies said that Foster’s vehicle was towed from the scene and Foster was transported to the Spartanburg County Detention Center, where, in accordance with normal procedures, he was stripped searched. In that search, the officer said he found a large white crack rock inside a clear bag tucked between Foster’s buttocks.

Foster is facing driving under suspension and drug trafficking charges.

It would have been more interesting if there had been no crack at all...

Good point. Is anyone actually sober and normal anymore? All the folks around me take drugs, have a history of drugs, have sketchy friends, are alcoholics, strangely familiar with pharmaceuticals, etc.

Makes me wonder ... if you drug test America, how many people would be clean? 15% maybe?

The 15% not taking drugs are getting it second hand from the tap water.

I didn't read the article; the author was a bit too cheeky for my liking.

What I fear is that a terrorist is going to try to hide a weapon or explosive device between his buttocks. And after that, like the search policy changed after that guy who hid something in the heels of his shoes, we're all going to have to spread every time we board a plane.

I've been clean and sober my entire life - but I've never been normal.
