Bummed out: Deondre Lumpkin (pictured), 24, doesn't look happy at being arrested. Police say he was found with four grams of crack cocaine hidden under his genitals on Tuesday

Most police pride themselves on getting to the bottom of a case, but Florida cop Michael Vegenski took that task rather literally when he arrested a man for allegedly having four grams of drugs hidden near his buttocks.

Deondre G Lumpkin, 24, of St Petersburg, Florida, is alleged to have put the 'crack' in crack cocaine on Tuesday, when Vegenski pulled him over for a traffic violation.

In a report acquired by The Smoking Gun, Vegenski says that upon pulling Lumpkin over, he 'detected the strong odor of burnt cannabis' and asked to search the vehicle. What was found must have surprised him.

Inside the car, the officer found an envelope containing marijuana and five cell phones. Lumpkin said the marijuana was his, but when Vegenski searched the man himself, things got a little odd.

In his statement, Vegenski - who referred to Lumpkin as 'the def', for 'defendant,' wrote: 'During the search, the def would not widen his stands and was clinching [sic] his buttocks. The defendant was transported to the PD for a more thorough search.

'Prior to conducting the secondary search, the defendant admitted to having crack cocaine concealed beneath his genitals.'

However, Vegenski said, Lumpkin denied that the crack was his. Vegenski claims that text messages Lumpkin received suggest he was planning to sell the crack.

Lumpkin, whose history includes previous weapons and narcotics charges, was released from custody Wednesday after posting $41,150 bail, The Smoking Gun wrote.
