FORT PIERCE — A 20-year-old man evidently had so much marijuana it literally was coming out of the rear end of his shorts, according to an arrest affidavit.

Donald Gibson on July 21 was brought by Fort Pierce police to the St. Lucie County jail on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge.

“When Donald and I arrived at the jail and he was removed from my vehicle, two small pink baggies with marijuana in them fell from the bottom of his shorts,” the affidavit states.

Asked whether he had “anything else” before going in the jail, Gibson said he didn’t.

But a St. Lucie County Sheriff’s deputy searched Gibson and noticed a “bulge” in Gibson’s buttocks.

“When the deputy began to pull on the bottom of where he felt the bulge, he noticed tissue,” the affidavit states. “The deputy pulled on the tissue and multiple pink baggies began to drop from Donald’s rear area.”

Investigators say Gibson had the baggies in tissue “tucked up his butt crack.”

But wait, there’s more.

Investigators say Gibson was put on an X-ray machine and another pink baggie fell from his shorts.

In all, Gibson is accused of squirreling away 21 baggies of pot.

Gibson, of the 400 block of North 19th Street in Fort Pierce, was arrested on an additional charge of smuggling contraband into a detention facility.
