GREENUP, Ky. (WSAZ) — From the back of commodes to big dog food bags, the places police find hidden drugs and money run as far as the imagination can create.

In fact, key testimony in the Charleston sniper shootings involves a truck engine stuffed with meth. Where else can they hide their stash?
Greenup County Sheriff Keith Cooper begins under the hood.
”There’s just supposed to be windshield washer fluid in there,” he said.
As for makeshift banks, he said, “Using false bottoms, they hide pills instead of money there.”
Cooper and his deputies find drugs and money in the most unmentionable places, like a stash of pills and cash uncovered when raiding a suspected pain pill pawn shop in a mobile home.
“He was wrapping up pills and money in his wife’s underwear,” Cooper said. “All hidden in her underwear drawer.”
A group of Ohio State Highway Patrol bust pictures show drugs hidden in shrimp canisters, magic markers, suitcases — even wrapped as Christmas presents.
Boyd County Sheriff Terry Keelin showed us a wide array of false bottom and hollow containers and a digital scale that looks like a cell phone — all used to tote that stash. Some are simply ingenious
”Here’s a good one — a water bottle that has water in it, but only in the top part,” Keelin said. “It’s not illegal unless they are holding illegal narcotics.”
What’s the coolest place to stash drugs and money? You can’t get much cooler than a freezer.
“We found pills and $10,000 in a Breyer’s ice cream container,” Cooper said. “And that gives a whole new meaning to cold hard cash.”
We’re told a popular method of hiding drugs and money is tying the stash to thin fishing line and dropping it down a heating vent.
And we won’t even go into the details we heard about the variety of body cavity hiding places and all the removal techniques.
