We’re all guilty of saying some stupid things when we’re unexpectedly put on the spot. But the next time Raymond Roberts is arrested, he may want to think his alibi through a little more thoroughly than he did this time:
A Florida man arrested Wednesday on drug charges told cops that a bag of cocaine found hidden inside his buttocks did not belong to him. Though the suspect did cop to ownership of a bag of marijuana hidden alongside the coke.
The narcotics were discovered by Manatee County Sheriff’s Office deputies after Raymond Roberts’s Hyundai was pulled over on a Bradenton street for speeding Wednesday morning. Investigators, who reported smelling a strong odor of marijuana emanating from the vehicle, subsequently searched the 25-year-old Roberts and discovered his hidden stash.
… Roberts quickly disavowed ownership of the cocaine. “The white stuff is not mine, but the weed is,” he claimed, adding that the crack in his crack was the property of a friend who had previously borrowed the car and left the drug on the passenger seat. Roberts explained that when he was pulled over for speeding, he concealed the second bag of narcotics.
IHTM’s editor is not embarrassed to admit that Cops is his favorite TV show. And one of his all-time favorite episodes is the one where the police find drugs in a suspect’s pockets while frisking him. The suspect’s response? “These aren’t my pants.”
We didn’t think any suspect could top that line, but Mr. Roberts seems to have proven us wrong.
