Related: About this forumFlorida man hides pot under his stomach fat
A 450-pound Florida man was arrested yesterday after cops conducting a traffic stop discovered that he had stashed marijuana under his stomach fat.
Christopher Mitchell, 42, was traveling in a vehicle driven by Keithian Roberts, 38, when the car passed a sharp-eyed Volusia County Sheriffs Office deputy who noticed that the 5' 6" Mitchell was not wearing a seatbelt.
During a subsequent traffic stop, both men reportedly appeared nervous, prompting the cop to summon a drug-detection dog. Mitchell, investigators noted, claimed to be so big that he was unable to buckle himself in.
After the drug dog alerted to the presence of narcotics in the vehicle, officers searched Mitchell, Roberts, and the car. Investigators found 23 grams of marijuana hidden under Mitchells stomach fat, a handgun, $7000 in cash, and some cocaine (for which Roberts was hit with a possession charge). Mitchell, seen in the above mug shot, was also cited for failure to wear a seat belt.

Additonally, deputies noticed that the cars trunk and its interior were sprinkled with carpet freshener and scented dryer sheets, a common tactic used to conceal the odor of drugs when theyre being transported, according to a news release which does not reveal which unfortunate deputy had to excavate the pot from Mitchell's stomach cave.
