Because human creativity knows no bounds, people are constantly coming up with clever places to cook, smuggle, and consume meth. Most recent in the steady stream of innovators is Georgia man Jared Fournier, who tried to pawn an old video game console with crystal meth stuffed inside the game cartridge slot. 

Fournier took the console, an old Sega Genesis, to an American Pawn around 5 p.m. on Friday, WALB News reports. He handed it over to employees, who appraised the console. While checking to make sure nothing was amiss, one employee discovered the meth inside cartridge slot and called Colquitt County police. Fournier was arrested and charged with possession of crystal meth, which at that point he couldn't really deny. 

There's no word on whether the Sega Genesis was in working condition, but we're guessing Fournier won't be getting his console back.
