According to the New York Daily News, a rowdy patient in the psychiatric ward of a Bronx hospital was caught with 17 bags of a substance believed to be cocaine between his butt cheeks last week. The patient reportedly began "yelling and screaming," prompting staff members to try and calm him with a sedative injected into his rear. That's when they discovered the drugs.

According to sources close to Lincoln Hospital, the man became "a little more aggressive and defensive" when two bags of drugs fell from his secret hiding space. This led to the discovery of 15 more bags, which were transported to the 40th Precinct station. The man will follow as soon as he's released from the hospital and he's expected to face charges for drug possession.
