A disabled drug addict was caught with a stash of crack cocaine hidden inside her false leg.
The drugs fell out of a joint in Tracy Day's prosthetic limb during a police raid on her Castleford home.

When the 43-year-old bit a policeman, her false teeth fell out and a package of crack cocaine she tried to swallow was found.

Crack cocaine with a street value of £1,136 was discovered inside her body.

Day, who received £1,100 pounds a month in benefits, pleaded guilty at Leeds Crown Court to possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply. She escaped jail after the court heard she was making a concerted effort to stay drug free.

She was sentenced to a community order with an 18-month supervision requirement and nine-month drug rehabilitation programme.

"She escaped jail after the court heard she was making a concerted effort to stay drug free." Didn't realise the court was full of mugs.

How come she is receiving benefits of £1,100 per month?
I work full time and dont earn that i must be mental or in the wrong job. Her benefit allowance stinks its about time it got reviewed its no wonder people cant be bothered to work getting that amount. Start cutting amount of benefits if people are able to work but are too bone idle and give it to people who need it

£1,100 a month, that's disgraceful for sitting on your Jaxxy doing nothing.

Yes it's terrible that she gets all those benefits when she is so obviously a very practical lady - using her prosthesis to house her drugs and false teeth within handy reach. But like on e of those things you can hang over the sofa arm with a slot for your remote control and reading glasses and tv mag!!! Get her on Jeremy Kyle!
