This footage shows stunned cops finding a remarkably tall man who somehow managed to fold himself up to climb inside a tiny clothes dryer to hide during a drug bust.
The police bodycam footage, filmed in Cleveland, in the US state of Ohio, begins by showing the police officers questioning a woman in a basement as a dog barks repeatedly.
The officers, who later said that they found methamphetamine, cocaine, cannabis, Xanax, and syringes, as well as other drug paraphernalia in the house, can then be seen searching the premises and waking up another suspect.
The police then locate a third suspect in the clothes dryer with one police officer ordering him to “get your leg out” before saying: “That’s enough! He was hiding in the dryer. What are you doing dude?
The tall male suspect can then be seen emerging sheepishly from the household appliance, with a female police officer then putting him in handcuffs.
A police officer then asks him again what he is doing and if he has anything on him with the suspect, named as Michael McClosky, answering: “No.”
The suspect added: “I have felony warrants, you know that.”
He also said: “I don’t know if they wanna pick me up or not.”
McClosky can then be seen being escorted from the basement before the footage ends. The police said that they arrested five men and two women in the bust.
Newsflash obtained a statement from the Elyria Police Department dated 8th May saying: “On 5/6/23, Patrol Officers Constantino, and Lewis observed Brandon Sherrill run into 325 Kenyon Ave. Sherrill had an outstanding arrest warrant. Officers spoke to the leased tenant, Michael Major, who allowed officers to enter the residence. Officers found Sherrill hiding beneath the basement stairs.
“Sherrill was arrested along with Stephanie Price, hiding in the attic, Michael McClosky, hiding in the clothes dryer, Jason Smith, hiding underneath blankets in the bsmt [basement], and Autumn Eggers for outstanding arrest warrants.
“Ean King was charged with Felony Possession of Fentanyl, and Methamphetamine. Major was charged with Permitting Drug Abuse in the home as well as Possession of Methamphetamine and Drug Paraphernalia.
“Officers seized Fentanyl, Methamphetamine, Cocaine, Marijuana, Xanax, hypodermic syringes, and other drug paraphernalia inside the home.
“The Elyria Police Department believes the arrest of these individuals has made the Eastern Heights Neighborhood and the community a safer place.”
Some of the suspects were later charged on outstanding warrants, while all of them now also face drug possession charges, according to local media.
