Man hid drugs in rolls of stomach fat

Deputies say an inmate smuggled Xanax pills into the Hernando County Jail by hiding them in the fat rolls on his stomach.

According to the incident report, Thomas Althoff, 33, was taken to jail for driving with a suspended licence, patted down and put in a cell. But several hours later, a deputy saw Althoff bending over near a bench, "attempting to snort a crush [sic] yellow substance that was on a piece of cardboard."


Althoff told deputies he'd found the pills in his jail cell but later admitted to concealing the pills "underneath the skin flaps of the bottom section of his stomach."

Althoff admitted to crushing the pills in his holding cell to snort them. He was charged with possessing contraband in jail, in addition to his original charge of driving with a suspended licence.

Boy, 3, left unclaimed for two days after own birthday party      
The parents of a 3-year-old  Michigan boy may be faced with child abandonment and child abuse charges  after leaving their son alone after his own birthday party.

Warren  Police are questioning the parents as to why the boy was left alone at  Little Caesars Caesarland. The manager of the store called police at  around 9 p.m. on Saturday night when he noticed the boy was still there  with no adults.

Officers were unable to find the boy's parents so  he was taken into protective custody and placed in foster care.



Corporate  security from Caesarland contacted Warren Police at around 1 p.m.  Monday, saying a male had been by the store asking about his missing  3-year-old son.

"This is a disturbing and outrageous situation  that the person responsible for the care of this 3-year-old child would take  over 36 hours before inquiring as to the whereabouts of their child,"  said Warren Police Chief William Dwyer. "Our detectives will conduct a  thorough investigation and then report their findings to the Macomb  County Prosecutor's Office for criminal prosecution if deemed  necessary."

The boy's parents both live in Warren.
