Video: #POOWATCH: Day 38 ” drug dealer on a record-breaking toilet strike would rather die than take a poo”
Source – A suspected drug dealer on a record-breaking toilet strike would rather die than take a poo, his lawyer has said. Lamarr Chambers, 24, has now spent 38 days in police custody after Essex Police arrested and detained him on January 17. Appearing in court yesterday, his lawyer, Andrew Horsall QC, said he finds himself in ‘unchartered territory’ with Chambers. He said his client’s ‘life is at risk’ as he ‘doesn’t want to be resuscitated’ if he collapses, Essex Live reports. Officers believe he swallowed some of the drugs before his arrest in Harlow, Essex, and they have been patiently waiting for him to finally go ever since.
But with this waiting game now in its second month, Essex Police had no choice but to request more time to detain him in court. Chambers appeared before magistrates yesterday, where the force applied to keep him in custody until Monday. Mr Horsall told Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on Friday, to reject the application. He said: ‘Justice will be served one way or another, reject the application and continue with the case as it would be normally dealt with.’ Prosecutor Bob Rowlingson, however, said it was in the interest of justice to keep Chambers in police custody.
He told the court: ‘It is quite a clear cut application. Mr Chambers has been refusing treatment, it is clear he is preventing the passing of evidence of the drugs he swallowed prior to his arrest.’ He added: ‘The only thing stopping him being released is Mr Chambers himself.’ Last week, it was revealed what Chambers has been eating inside his cell. He started out eating Frosties cereal bars and as time went on, he would eat up to eight of them a day. However, he has now swapped the bars for fruit and vegetables. And it was also revealed how Chambers ate some fish made by his mother just before he appeared before magistrates. Essex Police started a hashtag – #PooWatch – to keep us all updated about any sudden movements. But after 24 days, the force stopped providing updates on the situation. Instead, a spokesperson said they would make one final announcement ‘when he does what he needs to do.’
I didn’t think it was physically possible and I’m pretty sure Raj welched on the bet to go at least 3o days not shitting so we have no clue if this is hard to do. Raj promised he’d go 30 and since then he has disappeared from Twitter. We just thought you would like s simulation. Of the task at hand which would bring you inside the world of a jailhouse shit strike.
But thanks to Raj we have no Idea how this looks on the inside. This should have been investigative journalism and now it’s no more than a shit story about a guy who won’t shit his drugs out.
Thanks Raj
