An roast chicken is a basic element of dinner, but when Kingston police took the food of a man after an arrest this week, they made a surprising discovery: their poultry duplicated as a drug stash.
A photo shared by the service shows a plastic bag that appeared in the back of the completely cooked bird.
Police said officers found fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine stuffed inside.
“We have seen hidden drugs in unique points,” said const. Anthony Colangeli. “I can’t think of the upper part of my head the last time they have been hidden inside a chicken.”
Police said the incident began as a call about threatening behavior, but ended with charges of weapons and drugs for a 44 -year -old man from the GTA.
The officers arrived at a hotel around 9:45 pm on Tuesday after the reports of a man who threatened staff after an argument led them to ask them to leave, according to a press release.
Instead, the suspect returned to his room where he was arrested.
Officers ‘carved’ chicken to find drugs
Police said a search revealed two pellet guns that were seized, along with all the man’s belongings, which included a loblaws receipt and the carefully wrapped chicken.
Back at the police station, an additional search revealed “an amount of fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine that had been hidden inside a complete roast chicken,” said the press release.
A second image shared by the service seems to show the bird perfectly divided into portion sizes, along with some empanada chops and two sealed bags full of smaller and transparent bags.
“Essentially they dissected or carved the chicken to find the different amounts of hidden drugs inside,” Colangeli explained.
Hidden drugs inside corral birds included 46.1 grams of fentanil, 10.8 grams of cocaine and 25.2 grams of glass methamphetamine, police said.
“The boys were quite surprised,” said Colangeli. “You don’t expect to find that.”
Despite the unusual hiding place, the agent said the “strange incident” resulted in serious charges.
It is not recommended for Easter dinner
Police have accused a 44 -year -old from the Metropolitan Area of Toronto with two positions of threats to cause death or body damage, possession of dangerous weapons for the public and with a hidden weapon.
The accused is also accused of three positions of probation of rape and possession of drugs with the purpose of traffic.
After taking the photos, the chicken was thrown, according to Colangeli.
“And not,” he added with a smile. “I would not recommend this for your Easter Sunday.”
