After police discovered the two grams of marijuana, a check revealed an outstanding international arrest warrant for the 51-year-old man for drug-related offences.

But they were unaware he was carrying a kilogram of cocaine, estimated at 120,000 euros ($152,400).

"The man had the condoms in his stomach and after a certain period of time his bowels passed them out again. I don't know why he didn't flush them down the toilet, perhaps he needed to keep them," the spokeswoman said.

The man hid the excreted condoms in his clothes, where prison authorities later found them.

2. If that story wouldn't keep people from

trying cocaine, I don't know what would. It's not all that uncommon either. Also, remember the dog they found that had his abdomen opened up and stuffed with cocaine-filled condoms? Yech!
