Police: 'Heavy' Inmate Hid Pot, Tobacco In Folds Of Stomach

POSTED: Monday, October 20, 2008

Police have filed additional charges against an inmate who they say tried to hide illegal drugs inside a Northside prison in an unusual way.

Officers said Cedric Webb, 25, was at the Montgomery Correctional Center on the Northside on Friday night when officers searching for contraband told him to lift his shirt.

According to the police report, when Webb raised his shirt, the officer saw two bags of marijuana and tobacco tucked into his stomach fat.

Investigators said the drugs then fell to the ground.

The report said Webb would not explain how he got the banned substances into the facility.

The arrest report describes Webb as 6 feet 2 inches tall and 290 pounds and his build as "heavy."

Webb, who had been in jail since May on charges of possession of cocaine and forgery, is now charged with introduction of contraband into a detention facility and possession of marijuana.
