A 450-lb Florida man was arrested on Friday in Osteen after attempting to hide marijuana in his belly fat. Christopher Mitchell, 42, who also goes by Fat Boy and Biggie, was pulled over along with his driver, Kethian Roberts, 38, for not wearing a seatbelt. The police officers felt the two men appeared nervous and could smell illegal substances inside of the car.
Drug-sniffing dogs found traces of cocaine on Roberts and marijuana on Mitchell. Mitchell was able to carry 23 grams of marijuana tucked away in the crevices of his belly fat. He used his body as a vehicle to transport drugs, and was arrested for possession of marijuana.
Police also found $7,000 in cash and a handgun in the vehicle that smelled of drugs masked with carpet freshener. This is not the first offense for Mitchell. In 2002, he was convicted for conspiracy to traffic cocaine, when he was about 200 pounds lighter. Wonder what he used to move his packages then…
