One Ashley Cecilia Castaneda who was found with a loaded handgun in her vagina after she was stopped for traffic violation by police officers during a routine traffic stop on Tuesday in Waco, Texas, USA, has been detained.
Reports say the 31-year-old was arrested alongside her confidant, one Gabriel Garcia, who was with her.
The Police Officers in Waco during their search at about 11 p.m reportedly found 2.5 grams of methamphetamine under vehicle’s driver’s seat and a set of digital weighing scales in Castaneda’s purse and the duo were immediately arrested and taken to the police station.
While being conveyed to the station, Castaneda confessed she was carrying a loaded semi-automatic handgun inside her private part and she was no longer comfortable with it.
A female police who was alerted by the male policemen en-route the station, reportedly confirmed Castaneda’s vagina was loaded and had a full magazine. The female police was said to have retrieved the loaded .22 caliber Smith and Wesson pistol therein.
The Waco Police Department spokesman, Sergeant Patrick Swanton said: “It is conceivable that the gun could have gone off inside the suspect and that would have been deadly because of the proximity to internal organs.”
Both Garcia and Castaneda were reportedly charged with possession of methamphetamine in a drug-free zone.
Castaneda was Thursday reportedly charged with violating State concealed firearms laws by hiding a fully loaded, snub-nosed handgun in her vagina, Daily Mail reports.
She was also charged with methamphetamine possession.
Garcia, the driver, was however, charged with possession of methamphetamine in a drug-free zone because the traffic stop was within 1,000 feet in a drug-free zone.
