While conducting a strip search,/b> on a 26-year-old drug suspect, officers saw a twisted piece of plastic protruding from the man's rectum.

(He had managed to move it while being driven to the hospital.) It contained 4.2 grams of crack cocaine. The suspect was booked into King County Jail for investigation of drug charges.

The suspect was booked into King County Jail for investigation of drug charges and on an outstanding Department of Corrections charge.

The suspect, a 28-year-old from Graham, was booked into King County jail for investigation of drug charges.
