A man weighing 204 kilograms was caught with marijuana hidden under his belly fat by a drug-sniffing dog called in during a traffic stop, police in Florida said on Tuesday.
The police spokesman said that the 42-year-old passenger acted suspiciously when police stopped the driver near Orlando because the suspect was not wearing a seatbelt.
However, a dog searched the car and alerted authorities to the drugs.
Officers said that they found 23 grammes of marijuana in the folds of the suspect’s stomach fat.
Police reported that the suspect tried to mask the smell of the drugs with carpet freshener.
