A Florida man was in denial when police said they found him sleeping with what appeared to be crack cocaine in his mouth last week.

Eric Lamont Smith, 45, was sleeping at the top of a stairwell at a Vero Beach-area apartment complex at about 12:50 a.m. on Feb. 15 when officers noticed a plastic bag with white powder in his mouth, TCPalm reports.
