A prisoner who tried to smuggle drugs into jail using a Kinder egg he had shoved up his bottom must now serve a longer sentence.
The ploy was discovered when Zachary Bowler was scanned as he was admitted to Armley jail in Leeds and officers spotted an "oval package", the Daily Star reports.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson's reaction to the images went viral back in August, when he was shown the scans during his visit at the prison.
The 55-year-old was horrified and clearly couldn't quite believe what his eyes were seeing. Grimacing while looking at the scan, he can be heard exclaiming: "You're joking?"
One of the images captured was taken two months earlier when Bowler had been jailed for beating his girlfriend up with a cricket bat.
He was not identified at the time but has now been named in court where a judge ordered him to spend more time behind bars.
Stephen Welch, prosecuting, said Bowler was placed in an isolation cell and asked to retrieve the item.
The defendant handed over a Kinder Egg which contained ten buprenorphine tablets.
The class C drug is more commonly known as subutex and is often prescribed to people withdrawing from heroin.
Mr Welch said: "He had been prescribed the tablets three weeks before. He had been trying to get himself off heroin."
Bowler was given a 14-week sentence, to be added to the two-and-a-half year sentence he is currently serving.
Judge Andrew Stubbs said: "You secreted a Kinder Egg up your backside."
The 27-year-old from Boston Spa, West Yorkshire, admitted hiding the Kinder egg inside his body when interviewed.
He said the drugs were for his own use as he was a heroin user and was worried about withdrawal symptoms while in custody.
Bowler pleaded guilty to conveying a list A article into prison.
Sean Smith, mitigating, said: "He made the decision to take ten tablets into the prison with him to try to assist him.
"I accept that they were for your own use. But the danger of smuggling drugs into prison is well known.
"You could have subjected yourself to violence or possible threats. Possession of drugs inside the prison estate is far more serious than outside.
"They have a corrosive influence inside prison."
After Bowler's sentencing hearing, Detective Sergeant Lee Stowe, of Leeds District Prison Crime Team, said: "The supply and consumption of Illegal drugs in prisons fuels violence, exploitation and self-harm and creates significant risks to inmates and to staff.
"We will continue to work closely in partnership with the prison authorities to deter and disrupt the smuggling of drugs into prisons and conduct comprehensive investigations to ensure those, such as Bowler, who commit these offences are punished accordingly."
