STUART — A man accused of having crack in his buttocks was arrested on a cocaine trafficking charge, according to an affidavit.

The case of the man accused of keeping cocaine in his caboose happened April 1 in Stuart.

Martin County Sheriff’s investigators stopped a vehicle at Southeast Ocean Boulevard and Southeast Flagler Avenue after noticing the driver wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. The driver was arrested on warrants from St. Lucie County.

The passenger, Demetrius Hagins, 28, told investigators “he had an amount of crack cocaine in between his butt cheeks.”

Hagins then plucked a bag with about 4 grams of crack cocaine from his buttocks.

Investigators also found a bag with about 29.5 grams of powder cocaine in the left pocket of his pants.

Since Hagins evidently had a pocket, it’s unclear why he had crack in his buttocks.

Hagins, of Indiantown, was arrested on a felony cocaine trafficking charge.
