Bodybuilder who once turned prison officer into criminal found with drugs between his buttocks

A bodybuilder who once convinced a besotted prison officer to smuggle steroids into prison was caught with class A drugs in his bum crack. Ashley Keany was found with 16.1g of high purity crack cocaine clenched between his buttocks when he was taken into custody after being arrested in July last year.

The 35-year-old has been in and out of custody since 2007 but told a judge he is tired of prison - and just wants to go to Lytham with his nan. Keany pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply on the basis the drugs, worth £1,610, were 'only for sharing with his stepdad', Lancs Live reports.

He had no intention of further supply, Beth Pilling, prosecuting, told Preston Crown Court yesterday (July 14). Keany's defence barrister Daniel Harman summarised a letter Keany wrote to the judge.
