CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — A man being booked into the Linn County Jail was caught with 109 plastic bags of crack cocaine concealed in his rectum.

KCRG reports that the drugs were found on Brandon D. Wilson while he was being booked on Monday for a possession of a controlled substance charge. He was arrested by police for marijuana.

Deputies don’t strip search all incoming inmates, but Wilson’s charge allowed deputies to perform the search.

“A. It’s a large quantity,” said Linn County Sheriff Brian Gardner. “B. It’d have to be uncomfortable. C. I’m glad we found it.”

Gardner believes the find could be a record seizure for the jail.
