A Gastonia man faces drug charges after a strip search revealed he was hiding marijuana in his rectum, according to arrest warrants.
Warren Charles Hart was arrested Saturday and charged with possession with intent to manufacture marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Hart, 28, of Spring Street, was held on a $20,000 secured bond.
When jailers suspected Hart might be hiding drugs, they conducted a strip search on Sunday. Hart had 3.7 grams of marijuana hidden inside himself and turned it over to jail staff, according to the arrest warrant affidavit.
Hart got an additional charge of possession of a controlled substance on jail premises and his bond was raised to $30,000.
