Holding Cell?
Damien Ankrah, who was arrested in a British heroin bust this summer, has been sentenced to 52 months in jail for the crime. It was his third offense.
Police had originally been unable to gather any physical evidence because Ankrah refused to go to the toilet for 16 straight days after the arrest. Despite submitting to a strip search, no drugs were found on (or in) his person. But when he refused to eat, drink or go to the toilet, police received permission from local magistrates to hold him longer.
Eventually Ankrah, 28, went to the loo and expelled five condoms filled with heroin, leading the judge to remark that "it was rather misguided and (if the condoms had burst) could have been fatal."
Ankrah's defense lawyer was more charitable, describing Ankrah as "a man of some strength and determination."
I'll go ahead and assume that is a fancy British way of saying "completely full of s**t."
