Another Boston cop bit, but by alleged drug dealer, not zombie
Boston Police report arresting a Malden man in East Boston yesterday on charges he bit an officer attempting to arrest him after an alleged drug transaction.
Police say an officer noticed a guy making numerous calls from a pay phone at a Mobil station on Border Street in East Boston. His suspicions were aroused because that's the sort of thing a drug dealer might do. According to police, another man drove up about five minutes later and the guy in the phone hopped in:
... The two were then observed to engage in a hand-to-hand exchange of unknown items. The white male suspect then exited the vehicle, placed an item in his pants pocket and ran to his parked vehicle and proceeded out of the area. ...
Officers then stopped the man and put him under arrest - after a struggle during which the man allegedly bit an officer in the hand.
Todd Mason, 25, of Malden, was charged with assault and battery on a police officer resulting in injuries, resisting arrest and operating a motor vehicle after suspension. Michael Nevarez, 29, of Chelsea, was charged with operating after suspension.
The bit officer was taken to Mass. General for treatment and was released.
Innocent, etc. and not zombies until BPD posts about it on Twitter.

Seems awfully convenient to me
All these bites and not one a zombie.
I smell a cover-up.
So what happened to the alleged drugs?
No drug-related charges? With all that probable cause? Shocking!
read the report...
it says the guy swallowed them.
He's still "in possession" of the coke
Ok, this is gross, but can't they monitor his... output and bust him for the drug charge too? OTOH, would it be worth the trouble?
I'm sure the police would
I'm sure the police would accept a volunteer to collect the evidence - why don't you call them?
Who didn't see "Maria Full of Grace"?
Is the bag likely to dissolve in stomach, and if so, how dangerous is $40 of cocaine by that avenue?
Answer
Plastic won't dissolve in your digestive system so if he's lucky the entire thing will pass through completely.
However, depending on how many grams of cocaine were in the bag, he could be at risk of an overdose if the bag rips or unfolds open during the passage. People have died from cocaine overdose when grams of cocaine were released in their digestive system after a swallowed bag ruptured.
