Man Hides Heroin Pellets

Up his ass. He put them there in Panama, then drove all the way up Central America, across Mexico, across Texas, the Gulf states, through Georgia, and up I-95 through the Carolinas. His destination was Norfolk, VA, where he intended to sell his feces-slathered butt-bullets full of sticky heroin for 100 bucks per gram. He was 50 miles from his destination when the cops pulled him over for a traffic infraction.

Obviously, he couldn’t sit still and the cops thought he was nervous so they called in the k9 units. From the Daily Press here:

A Georgia man is in prison in Norfolk after state police stopped him on Interstate 95 near Emporia with his rectum crammed full of heroin pellets that he said he planned to sell in Norfolk for $100 per gram.

Gary C. Swinney, 39, appeared in U.S. District Court on Monday. The FBI plans to prosecute him in federal court.

Swinney was arrested on Friday after a traffic stop on I-95. According to the FBI affidavit, when the state trooper believed the driver was acting nervous, he used a drug-sniffing dog to check him. This led to the discovery of 22 heroin pellets hidden in pouches within Swinney’s underwear. Police then took him to a hospital in Emporia, where X-rays showed more pellets hidden in his rectum. The affidavit says Swinney was “medically treated” to remove 27 pellets of heroin.

According to the affidavit, Swinney told investigators he planned to sell the heroin in Norfolk
