All Wet: Cops Say Suspect Tried To Dissolve Heroin By Peeing

SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) - Police say a Pennsylvania drug suspect was all wet when he urinated in his pants in hopes that would dissolve some heroin and cocaine officers say they found in his pocket.

The (Scranton) Times-Tribune says that happened Tuesday after 42-year-old Wesley Autrey allegedly sold some heroin during an undercover sting in Scranton.

When police tried to arrest Autrey afterward, he struggled and had to be subdued with a stun gun.

Police say Autrey then began peeing his pants as they searched him. Police say Autrey was unable to dissolve five small bags of heroin and four small bags of cocaine found in his right front pocket, along with $3,000.

Online court records don't list an attorney for Autrey who remained in the Lackawanna County jail unable to post bond Thursday.
