Jesse Lopez a 29-year-old Montana man, was hospitalised and then charged last week after he allegedly pulled several pills from his bottom and ate them.
According to Great Falls Police, Lopez was at the Great Falls Police station to retrieve a lost wallet that someone had turned in when officers realised that an outstanding warrant had been issued for his arrest.
While Lopez was being processed into jail, officers found two crack pipes in his pocket and several plastic spindles that are commonly used to distribute narcotics.
At some point during the booking process, another inmate told officers that Lopez was pulling pills out of his buttocks and consuming them.
Officers were able to retrieve 4 Hydrocodone pills from Lopez' mouth as he attempted to swallow them.
The report did not indicate how many pills Lopez was successful in swallowing before officers were able to react.
Officers also recovered the broken fragments of several plastic bindles from Lopez's mouth that may have contained additional narcotics.
Lopez was reportedly rushed to a local hospital and placed into intensive care following the incident.
He has been charged with possession with intent to distribute, tampering with evidence and three counts of criminal possession of drug paraphernalia.
