In case there was a question, the backseat of a police cruiser is not the best place to hide drugs.

James Michael Kerr, 32, of Twin Falls found out the hard way Monday.

Twin Falls police officers arrested Kerr shortly after midnight Monday for trespassing and providing false information to police, court records said. They also discovered Kerr had a warrant out for his arrest for possession of methamphetamine.

The officers handcuffed Kerr before placing him in the back of the patrol cruiser, but during the drive to county jail, officers said Kerr acted strangely by leaning to the side and moving constantly, court records said.

When the officers arrived at the jail, they discovered Kerr had removed his right sock and put his shoe back on during the ride, police said. They also noticed the unoccupied seat-belt buckle in the backseat had been pushed several inches inside the plastic seat.

Upon closer inspection, the officer found a small bag stuffed inside the hole, as well as crystal-like substances where Kerr had been sitting, court documents said. After removing the entire back seat, the officer found another small bag that contained white powder was stuffed inside the seat from where the buckle protrudes; the contents of the bag tested positively for meth.
