Man Hides Gun In Rectum
Corrections officials in Onslow County, Ga., said they think they have solved the mystery of how a man managed to smuggle a .38-caliber handgun into his jail cell: He used his rectum.
According to a news release, the Onslow County Sheriff's Office said the 10-inch-long weapon was found in the jail cell of Michael Leon Ward, following his arrest a day before on drug-related charges during a traffic stop.
Investigators said Ward was also a wanted fugitive on a murder warrant out of Atlanta.
Corrections officials told MSNBC that Ward did undergo a strip search during his booking, but that nothing turned up.
Authorities said the handgun was discovered in the jail cell toilet after Ward told corrections staff that he found the weapon in his cell. Deputies said the gun was test fired and found to be operational.
I wouldn't want to be the guy who test fired that weapon??
