Gainesville Police arrested a local man Saturday night after officers said he hid cocaine in his boxers and marijuana in his pants.

Police arrested Ramon Castillo King, 22, on charges of marijuana possession and cocaine possession with intent to sell, according to an arrest report.

At about 11:15 p.m., King was riding in a car stopped for a broken tag light.

An officer saw King stuff something into the front of his pants, and according to the report, the officer also noted the car smelled of marijuana.

Officers searched King and found a cigarette box containing one gram of cocaine in his boxers.

The officer then asked King where the marijuana was, to which he replied, in his “nuts.” King then reached into the front of his pants and pulled out four grams of marijuana, according to the report.

During questioning, King admitted to selling crack cocaine.

King has an extensive criminal history, including arrests on charges of smuggling contraband into a detention facility, battery and grand auto theft, according to court records.

King was booked into the Alachua County Jail early Sunday morning, where he remains in lieu of a $35,000 bond.

A version of this story ran on page 16 on 1/6/2014 under the headline "Local man arrested after stuffing cocaine in boxers, marijuana in pants"
