David Bakare was seen using a hire car in Brighton linked to the supply of heroin and crack cocaine.
Officers from the Specialist Enforcement Unit (SEU) stopped him outside an address in Eastern Road, Brighton.
They noted how the 28-year-old was clenching his buttocks.
His vehicle was searched and drugs were found, so he was arrested.
In custody, officers found wraps of drugs which Bakare had stashed inside himself.
Bakare, of Tadema Road, Kensington, was already under investigation for supplying a psychoactive substance in Brighton in an earlier incident, where he was arrested by Brighton Response officers.
Following an investigation by the Brighton Community Investigation Team (CIT), he was charged with offences.
At Lewes Crown Court on April 4 he admitted being concerned in the supply of diamorphine (heroin), being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine, and supplying a psychoactive substance.
He was sentenced to four years and four months in prison.
