INDIANTOWN — The case involving Anibal Maldonado did not appear to take much investigative skill to crack.

That’s because the 35-year-old man volunteered to a Martin County sheriff’s deputy that he had crack cocaine in the crack of his buttocks, according to a sheriff’s report.

Further, Maldonado said he had marijuana in his sock.

What could be described as an incident to demonstrate drugs aren’t what they’re cracked up to be occurred July 12 in Indiantown. It happened about 8 p.m., as opposed to an earlier time, such as the crack of dawn.

Deputies spoke to Maldonado in the 14700 block of Southwest Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive regarding earlier cases involving alleged drug sales.

After investigators read Maldonado his Miranda rights, he is accused not of cracking a joke but of disclosing the crack in his keister and pot in his sock, one of which is worn on each foot.

Investigators say they plucked a tube containing crack from Maldonado’s buttocks, the fleshy protuberances below the lower back.

Maldonado, of Indiantown, was arrested in connection with the crack and the earlier cases.

Investigators later learned his true last name is Velasquez, a sheriff's spokeswoman said.
