For Jahrea Raheem Wallace, a desperate time allegedly called for a desperate measure.

The 25-year-old Floridian--seated in the rear of a police cruiser after being arrested following a 2:40 AM traffic stop--sought to dispose of some narcotics on his person, cops reported.

Well, actually, in his person.

According to an arrest affidavit, a vehicle cam captured Wallace last month “eating a bag of drugs he pulled from his butt.” Pictured at right, Wallace then “proceeds to eat the baggy with the drugs.”
