“What’s That, Officer?”

BERLIN (Reuters) – German police charged a man with drugs possession
after officers spotted a small quantity of heroin concealed in his
ear when he entered a police station to check if he was on their
wanted list.

"
I suppose he may have heard he was wanted for some offence and just wanted
to see if the police had anything on him," Volker Pieper, a spokesman
for police in the central city of Kassel, said Tuesday. "It didn’t
go quite as he had planned."

As the 33-year-old man, a known drug abuser, questioned police, an officer
noticed a suspicious lump stuck in his ear which turned out to be a gram
of heroin, said Pieper. Police confiscated the drug before filing charges.
