SOUTHWEST WALES, UK -- A millionaire cocaine addict, who retired at the age of just 36, is behind bars after police found a huge stash of drugs hidden in his luxury car.
James Brown was arrested in December after a traffic stop revealed $277,000 worth of cocaine stowed the the air vents and folding roof mechanism of his Bentley Continental convertible.
The 45-year old property developer's drug habit was so bad his nose collapsed after nine years of daily cocaine use, according to the Wales Online.
At the time of his arrest, he was staying in a luxury hotel where investigators also found a collection of illegal guns and more cocaine, the Daily Mail reported.
Officers found a 9mm semi-automatic Walther PP1 pistol - similar to the gun used by James Bond - and a Russian 9mm Tula Tokarev.
A rifle and ammunition was also discovered.
Last week, Brown was sentenced to five years in jail.
