Okay, here's one thing I can say that many of those in my generation cannot. I have never been 'high'. I've been plenty drunk but I've never been high on an illegal substance. Smoking is disgusting when it is a cigarette. When it is a smelly joint that is wet and nasty and slobbered on by a bunch of random people passing it around ... I'm gonna have to pass. It takes two nurses and about seven pricks to draw blood from my small, collapsing veins, so how and the hell would I shoot up? The thought of putting something up my nose is just plain gross.
Besides, have you seen most drug dealers? Okay, neither have I; but the ones I've seen on Cops, frankly, I wouldn't trust to valet park the Mazda 6, so why would I buy drugs from them?? So, I heard this story this morning on the radio and had to track it down. This version comes from the Smoking Gun. Just another cautionary tale on why you shouldn't do drugs. You never know where they've been.
MAY 11--In what may be a record for narcotics recovered from a suspect’s rectum, Vermont cops last week arrested a New York City man who hid large quantities of crack cocaine, marijuana, and Oxycodone inside his body.
Alex Boulet, 29, is facing felony drug charges stemming from a May 4 traffic stop in Rockingham. Boulet, a Staten Island resident, was driving a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu when a state trooper pulled the vehicle over after it swerved across lanes around 11 PM.
During a subsequent pat down of Boulet (who used the alias “Elijah Jones”), a trooper “felt a hard object, the approximate size of a golf ball that was separate from his genitals.” In short order, investigators secured a warrant to search Boulet--via X-ray or other non-intrusive medical procedures--for narcotics, according to a court affidavit.
After an initial X-ray at a local hospital revealed a foreign object in his rectum, Boulet was given a laxative by hospital staffers (he also requested a cup of coffee). Boulet subsequently passed a plastic bag containing several other bags that contained a total of 84 crack rocks “all packaged individually.”
After a second X-ray showed “more foreign objects,” Boulet returned to the commode in his hospital room. He then passed two plastic bags containing a total of 218 Oxycodone pills. Boulet expelled the powerful painkiller from his rectum more than five hours after passing the crack cocaine.
When a third X-ray revealed that Boulet was still holding, he was transferred to the intensive care unit of a second hospital. While there, he “passed his fourth bag of contraband,” noted Trooper Kevin Hughes in the May 7 affidavit. The final bag--covered like the others in unpleasantness--contained 11.5 grams of marijuana.
As a result of his secret dispensary, Boulet was charged with possession of crack cocaine, marijuana, and a regulated drug. He is locked up in the Marble Valley Correctional Center in lieu of $50,000 bail.
Remember when Eddie Murphy sang this song? Alex, at 29, probably doesn't, but his story immediately brought this song to mind.
