Police: Man Chows Down on Drugs After Crashing Moped

EAST NASHVILLE, TN — A moped-riding drug dealer tried to hide his crime in his belly, police say.

Metro Police say a chase began when they spotted the man making a drug deal at a Gallatin Pike gas station. He hopped on his moped, wheeled into traffic and weaved and dodged between cars in an effort to escape, but eventually crashed in front of a nearby funeral home.

Police found $4,000 in the man's pockets and he was taken into custody. Later, he threw up four baggies, containing powder cocaine, crack and heroin, which police believe he swallowed in an extemporaneous deception effort.
