MARATHON, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man is facing drug charges after a deputy discovered two packages of cocaine hidden inside a Cookie Monster doll.
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office said in a news release Wednesday that 39-year-old Camus McNair was arrested after a Florida Keys traffic stop involving a car with heavily tinted windows and an obscured license plate.
A deputy smelled marijuana odor after pulling over McNair's car and then searched a backpack in the car, which contained the Cookie Monster doll. The deputy noticed the doll seemed heavier than it should and a slit had been cut into it.
Authorities say about 11 ounces (300 grams) of cocaine was found inside the doll. McNair was jailed in lieu of $7,000 bail. Jail records did not list an attorney for him.
