Drug mule swallows stash of heroin — then doesn’t poo for a month
Cops wait an agonising 27 days before suspect finally goes to loo
A DEALER gulped down bags of heroin as cops swooped, then spent nearly a month refusing to poo.
Police hauled Aaron Hudson, 33, to their nick but repeatedly had to get the OK from magistrates to keep him in custody.
The stalemate lasted an agonising 27 days until he finally went to the loo and officers had their evidence, a judge heard.
Hudson, from Camden, North London, was seized after he was spotted flogging drugs near a children’s playground on the seafront in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
Before cops got to him he wolfed down his stash.

Police said: “Hudson was seen to swallow the drugs to prevent them being found.”
The packages slowly worked their way through his system — in a waiting game that saw police repeatedly given special powers to hold him.
A judge at Lewes crown court jailed him for three and a half years after he pleaded guilty to possessing heroin with intent to supply.
Jubilant PC Dan Cloake hailed it as a lesson to pushers “who believe they can evade justice by storing drugs internally”.
