Man Denies Ownership Of Syringes Found In His Rectum During Jail Strip Search

[left-of-center2012]

A Florida Man denied ownership of three syringes removed from his rectum during a 4:30 AM strip search at a county jail, according to a criminal complaint. Cops arrested Wesley Scott, 40, early Friday on an outstanding warrant charging him with drug possession. While being searched in the field, Scott denied having any illegal items concealed on (or in) his body.

But when Scott arrived at the Pinellas County jail and was subjected to a strip search, he “removed three syringes from his rectum and provided them” to a jailer. Scott then claimed that he “found” the syringes and that "they were not his."

This explanation did not stop officials from charging Scott with introducing contraband into a correctional facility, a felony. He is being held on a $5000 bond.

The court filing does not reveal whether Scott named the purpoprted owner of the syringes that had been found in his rectum. Or whether that individual had consented to his works being stored in Scott’s rectum.

4. Thanks I needed this

But so many questions. Where was he going before he was arrested that he needed to “squirrel them away”? Did he fall off a ladder in his doctor’s office?

Was he convincing when he pulled them out and said “wtf how did those get in there? Is he a part time magician and this is an updated version of pulling a rabbit out of a hat?

Oh all answered by the first 3 words of your post.
