Suspected drugged-driver ate cash in attempt to avoid it being confiscated to help repay his debts

Police in Skåne in southern Sweden say a man they stopped on suspicion of drugged-driving started eating bank notes, to stop them being confiscated to help repay his debts.
On Thursday, officers arrested a man already known to police on suspicion of driving his car while under the influence of drugs. They later discovered wads of cash in his vehicle.
When the suspect, who was in debt, learned that his money would be passed on to bailiffs, he became furious. "He snatched up the money, put it in his mouth and started to eat it up," a spokesperson for Södra Skåne Police said.
They added that the man "frantically chewed his notes and yelled". It was pointed out to the man that despite eating the cash his debt remained. Officers then called medical staff, "because no-one knew exactly how unhealthy it was to eat bank notes."
