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

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

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