Arrested Leeds dealer caught with deadly drugs stashed in his pants
He was arrested on unrelated matters
A dealer was caught out after police found that he has stashed hundreds of pounds worth of heroin and crack cocaine in his groin.
Officers had arrested Christopher Collinson on an unrelated matter, but he spilled his secret after being taken to the police station.
The 41-year-old was jailed for two counts of dealing in Class A drugs.
Leeds Crown Court was told that he was detained shortly after 2am on March 2.
He was searched and found to have 49 wraps of drugs placed in his groin area. There were 19 of heroin and 30 of crack, worth a total of £245.
Collinson, of Dewsbury Road, Leeds, has 28 previous convictions but none for drug dealing, prosecutor Becky Jane said.
Mitigating, Michael Walsh said Collinson was a “heavy drug user” and said: “He did not want to be in that position.”
The judge, Recorder Robert Ward, jailed him for three years and seven months.
