NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. - South Carolina Police say Wayne Joshua Mitchell, 20, died after he ate an ounce of cocaine that was hidden in his brother's buttocks according to a WCIV report.
Authorities plan to charge the victim's brother 23-year-old Deangelo Rashard Mitchell, with involuntary manslaughter.
The incident happened when both brothers were in the back of a police car on November 30. The two had been arrested for trafficking.
Video from inside the police car captured a conversation between the brothers, where Deangelo pleads with his younger brother to take the cocaine in his bottom and eat it to get rid of it.
"One of us gotta do it, you the only one that don't have any strikes. ...You my little brother... I'm gonna get life," Deangelo said to Wayne.
His bother complied and ate the drugs.
When officers saw the cocaine residue on the seat where Wayne sat, Deangelo told officers that his brother swallowed cocaine. Within the hour, Dwayne struggled to breathe, bled from his mouth and died.
Deangelo was charged with trafficking drugs and bonded out of jail December 1.
Once toxicology results confirmed that Wayne died directly from consuming the cocaine, police decided to pursue more serious charges. Authorities are now looking for Deangelo to charge him.
