Police said a man attempted to smuggle methamphetamine into the Middletown City Jail by taping it to his genitalia.

Police were summoned to the Middletown Municipal Court on July 11 after officials became aware that Christopher Miller, 42, of Middletown, was there and had active arrest warrants against him.

After the arrest warrants were confirmed, Miller was taken downstairs to the jail, according to a police report.

Before Miller entered the jail, he was asked if he had anything illegal on his person, to which he said, “no,” according to the report.

However, as he was being booked and changing into a jail uniform, a corrections officer found a baggie containing what was believed to be meth taped around Miller’s genitalia.

The substance weighed about 1.5 grams and tested positive for meth, according to police.

Miller was charged with possession of meth and conveyance of drugs into a detention facility. This was in addition to charges of drug abuse/fentanyl and drug abuse/heroin that were already pending.

During an arraignment July 13, Miller’s bond was set at $20,000 and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. July 20.
