Man Busted With Drugs In Footwear Swears By THIS Airtight Alibi…

After being caught with drugs on his person, a 20-year-old man hilariously thought it might help his case to tell cops the socks he had on weren’t his. He was reportedly carrying cocaine, anti-anxiety medication, and $740 in cash, but he told police he was holding the coke for someone else.

From WSBTV:

When Ohio police pulled over a driver for failing to signal a turn and allegedly found cocaine in his sock, the man had a ready alibi — they were not his socks. Austintown police stopped Damien K. Clark, 20, of Hubbard, about 3 a.m. Saturday, The Youngstown Vindicator reported. According to a police report, an officer smelled marijuana and searched Clark, the newspaper reported. The officer allegedly found a small plastic bag of cocaine inside his left sock, WJW reported. Clark then said, “These aren’t my socks,” according to the police report.

To make matters worse, officers also found a tablet of Vyvanse on Clark while he was being booked at Mahoning County Jail, which he reportedly says he “forgot about.”

Clark was charged with felony counts for conveying drugs into the jail and drug abuse, along with another misdemeanor drug abuse count, the Vindicator reported. Clark, who appeared in court Monday and has since posted bond, is scheduled for another hearing April 3, WSBTV reports.

We wish him luck in his proceedings.
