WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) — Police in Wenatchee are surprised at the amount of contraband an inmate was able to smuggle into the jail rectally.
The Wenatchee World says the man internally carried a cigarette lighter, rolling papers, a baggie of tobacco the size of a golf ball, a smaller baggie of marijuana, a 1-inch smoking pipe, a bottle of tattoo ink and eight tattoo needles.
Sgt. John Kruse says the volume of contraband left officers wondering.
Chelan County Regional Justice Center administrator Phil Stanley says the man was booked into jail Wednesday night to serve a disorderly conduct sentence.
Nothing was found in a strip search. A jailer later found a plastic bag and duct tape in the toilet. After questioning the inmate surrendered the contraband.
