Dude Gets Arrested Smuggling Coke In Just A Horrible Fake Cast

(Source) – An Amtrak passenger carrying crutches due to a purported leg injury suffered in a motorcycle crash was arrested Tuesday after federal agents discovered that the plaster cast on his right leg hid more than a kilo of cocaine. Daniel Ramirez, 21, was aboard a train traveling to Chicago from California when he was approached by Drug Enforcement Administration task force officers during a scheduled stop in Albuquerque, New Mexico, according to federal court records. Ramirez, who told the investigators that he was taking the 41-hour trip to Chicago to visit a friend, appeared “increasingly nervous” as he spoke to the agents, who reported that “his hands were shaking.” The drug agents also noted that Ramirez was wearing a cast that was “uneven in texture, size and shaping not consistent with that of a cast applied by a medical professional.” When Ramirez agreed to remove a sock, the lower portion of cast “began to crumble and fall off the bottom of his foot.” Additionally, when the federal agents peered down into the cast, they spotted what appeared to be plastic packaging. One search warrant later, agents retrieved five heat-sealed bags of cocaine from inside Ramirez’s cast, which is seen above in a DEA evidence photo taken before the cast was dismantled.

I’m not a detective. I’m not particularly observant. I used to suck at those “What’s wrong with this picture?” games in Highlights. But if I saw that guy board a train I’d nudge the person I was with and say “Hey, check out the kilo of blow in that dude’s fake cast.” Just a piss poor effort here. I mean, did you have to leave the coke in the exact block shape that you see in every single movie? Couldn’t spread it out around the leg? And it started falling apart, too boot? What was the thing made out of, paper mache? That shit you used to build fake volcanoes out of for science class? Come on dude. When you’re smuggling that much coke try and be an adult about it. Don’t make the fakes cast of all time, grab a Crayola marker, color some fake blood on your broken leg, and think you’re going to get away scot free. George Jung would puke if he saw this effort.
