<span style="font-weight: bold">Man Dies After Eating Cocaine Hidden in Brother’s Buttocks</span>
A South Carolina man with a lengthy criminal record asked his younger brother to make the ultimate sacrifice for him. An hour later his brother was dead.
Deangelo Rashard Mitchell, 23, of North Charleston, SC, was handcuffed with his brother, Wayne Joshua Mitchell, 20, in the back seat of a patrol car on Nov. 30. The two men had been pulled over in their truck for driving with one headlight out. Officers placed the brothers in the back seat while they searched the truck.
Facing life in prison if convicted on the drug charge, Deangelo, who had hidden an ounce of crack cocaine in his buttocks, asked Wayne to swallow the drugs.
The patrol car’s video camera caught the verbal exchange between the brothers.
“One of us gotta do it, you the only one that don’t have any strikes. You my little brother… I’m gonna get life,” Deangelo pleaded. “You gonna eat it, you gonna chew it,” said Deangelo, pictured above right. “I can get you out. I can’t afford another strike.”
The older brother retrieved the crack rocks from where he’d hidden them in his buttocks and dropped the drugs on the seat between them.
Wayne complied with his brother’s request and ate the rock cocaine off the seat. Moments later, Wayne began having difficulty breathing and went into convulsions. Deangelo told police that Wayne swallowed crack cocaine after police spotted cocaine residue on the seat.
The onset of the lethal overdose was immediate. Wayne suffered a cardiac arrest and began bleeding from his mouth. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
