SEATTLE — The Seattle Police Department (SPD) says that a suspect had 53 small baggies of drugs hidden in his pants after he was booked into the King County Jail.
The 33-year-old felon was arrested after patrol officers saw him selling drugs on 3rd Ave. near Blanchard St, according to police.
The officer said they also saw the man stuff some down his pants after an alleged drug sale.
