In an unusual incident unfolding in Humboldt, Tennessee, a traffic stop by the local drug task force has led to a felony drug arrest with a twist that feels ripped from a comedy sketch. The West Tennessee Drug Task Force - covering the 28th, 29th, and 30th districts - reported on their social media about a case where the male passenger in a vehicle was found with approximately 7.5 grams, justo over a quarter ounce of methamphetamine.
According to the task force’s online post, the individual arrested on Monday during a routine car stop came up with an unconventional defense. "My brother wore these underwear yesterday, I didnt know that was in there or I would’ve told you," he reportedly said. The Humboldt Police Department aided the agents with the stop, which ultimately uncovered the narcotics.
A routine traffic stop took a strange turn when officers discovered meth hidden in a man’s underwear—an item he claimed was accidentally swapped with his brother’s laundry from the day before. The man suggested the drugs were an unintentional inheritance, a claim shared in a quote on the task force’s Facebook page. The case is now in the hands of the 28th Judicial District Attorney General’s Office.
