A Davenport man who tried to hide crack cocaine in his buttocks has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Police said they discovered he had 13.4 grams of crack cocaine concealed in his buttocks in two separate plastic bags.  He pleaded guilty to a controlled substance violation and was sentenced Friday.  A person cooperating with the investigation called Gibson on his cell phone and ordered $100 worth of crack cocaine, police said. Officers were on foot conducting surveillance when one officer walked near the front of Gibson’s residence, according to police. Gibson tried to get the officer to approach the front door by calling him. Officers saw Gibson waving his hands over his head at the front of the residence in an effort to get the attention of the cooperating person.

Tactical officers approached the defendant on foot and identified themselves as police officers, police reports stated. They saw Gibson throw something in the front yard before they grabbed him by his arms.

Officers said they found $100 amounts of individually wrapped crack cocaine in the yard. Gibson also had one rock of crack cocaine in his coin pocket and two small bags of marijuana, according to police.

By the end of his sentence, he will have more room to stash ten times that amount. Don't drop the soap.
