A woman arrested by police was revealed to have a loaded gun hidden inside her vagina and a bag of drugs concealed between her buttocks.
Suspect Christie Dawn Harris was arrested by police in Ada, Oklahoma this week, after a search of her car yielded crystal meth, drug paraphernalia, a pistol and some ammo.
But Harris’s complete haul wasn’t revealed until she was escorted to the local jail, police paperwork on The Smoking Gun revealed.

The 28-year-old initially refused to change into prison clothing, but later consented to a body cavity search, at which point Officer Kathy Unbewust “observed at that time a wooden and metal item sticking out from her vagina area.”
The item in question turned out to be a loaded .22-caliber handgun containing three rounds of live ammunition and one spent shell.
Further examination of the suspect yielded a number of plastic bags filled with methamphetamine.

Pontotoc County District Attorney Chris Ross was quoted by The Examiner as saying: “It would seem a very dangerous place to carry a loaded firearm. If it goes off it’s only going in one place.”
Harris and an accomplice now face weapons and drugs charges.
WGN-TV news anchor Robin Baumgarten wept with laughter as she delivered a report into the arrest, exclaiming “What?!” as her co-anchor Larry Postash added: “The old caboose pistol; everybody has one.”
