Caught With Crack
posted (September 25, 2019)
44-year-old San Pedro resident Gregory Parks is out on bail tonight after being taken to court for allegedly trying to traffic crack cocaine. And, the cops say that he tried to hide it in a very unusual way.

On September 20th, San Pedro police went to execute a search at Park's residence in the Boca Del Rio area. They didn't find anything illegal. But, before they let him off, the cops decided to do a full body search. They say that they made him pop a squat and cough, and when he did so, a bag containing the suspected drugs fell to the floor.

They retrieved the bag with half an ounce of crack - which constitutes drug trafficking.

He was arraigned today before Senior Magistrate Tricia Pitts-Anderson, and pleaded not guilty. He was released on bail of $1,000, and he must return to court on November 27th.
