 Prosecutors have dropped their case against a suspected drug dealer who refused to use the toilet after allegedly swallowing substances. Lamarr Chambers was arrested in Harlow on 17 January and has spent 47 days in custody refusing to go to the toilet. The police, frustrated by the lack of movement in the case and in the suspect, were forced to release him on "medical and legal advice". The Crown Prosecution Service have discontinued the charges against Mr Chambers in relation to possession with intent to supply a Class A drug and driving matters.

 However, police said he was subsequently rearrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a Class A drug and has been released on bail. The force said that while he was being held, he was routinely supplied with food and water and received medical visits every day. Despite this, nothing was passed by Mr Chambers, who also routinely declined medical treatment and the opportunity to visit hospital, it said.
– Lamarr Chambers fought the law, and the law came in No. 2—all over some No. 2. The BBC reports "poo watch" has officially ended in the UK, with the 24-year-old released on Monday after 47 days in custody in which he refused to have a bowel movement. Chambers was arrested in Essex on Jan. 17, and police suspected the alleged drug dealer had swallowed his stash—and decided to wait him out. It didn't work after what Sky News reports was seven court hearings in which police sought custody extensions, and even though Chambers ate and drank daily. Prosecutors decided to drop the charges—possession with intent to supply—against him due to "insufficient evidence," though he was then re-arrested by police on different drug charges—suspicion of being concerned in the supply. He was released on bail; Chambers was then taken to a hospital and treated. The BBC reports it's believed to be the longest anyone in custody has gone without pooping, though the human body can go longer. Newser previously reported that a 16-year-old British girl died in 2013 after she reportedly did not have a bowel movement for eight weeks. (This remains one classic story of a poop gone wrong.)
