An unusual topping on a banana split sent a man to jail, according to fortbendnow.com.

Officials with the Richmond Police Department said Oscar Martinez, 41, was pulled over for a traffic violation on F.M. 1640 at about 10 p.m. Sunday.

The officer ran Martinez's name through his computer and found that his license was suspended and he was wanted on an outstanding warrant.

As the officer was arresting him, Martinez told him that he wished he had time to eat the banana split he just purchased.

The officer took a close look at the melting dessert and discovered two rocks of crack cocaine on top.

Officials said Martinez was charged with driving with a suspended license and possession of a controlled substance.
