So where did the Florida man try and hide some cocaine? Well, Remember when you were young, there was always that one kid who would try and hide things up their nose? So, this guy, 40-year-old Joel Craig Wallace, thought he could outsmart the cops by hiding cocaine were there was no way the police could find it… Well, they did.
According to FOX35, It all went down in Pasco County when troopers clocked Wallace speeding on US-19 around 11:30 at night. Now, most people see those flashing lights, maybe get a little nervous, pull over, and deal with it. But not Joel. Nope, this guy hits the gas and starts a little chase. I mean, who needs a high-speed car chase at night? But whatever, Joel's living his best life.
Anyway, the chase doesn’t last long because Joel, in all his wisdom, leads the police straight to his own house. Now, let’s pause for a second… Who runs from the cops and then pulls up at their own front door like it’s just another day? Joel, apparently.
Hide The Cocaine:
Now here’s where it gets real stupid. Before the cops slap the cuffs on him, Joel decides he's going to pull a fast one and snort his stash of cocaine. Because clearly, if it's up your nose, it doesn’t count, right? Solid plan, Joel.
Of course, the troopers were not impressed. They arrested him anyway and hit him with charges for fleeing, possession of cocaine, and tampering with evidence. So now, instead of just getting a ticket, Joel’s facing a whole stack of charges.
Don’t try to run from the cops, and definitely do not try to snort your way out of a drug charge.
