Jail staff became suspicious when the man refused to co-operate during a routine search - and it took two body scans to reveal what he was hiding
The pair of scissors that was discovered by jail staff. Pic: La Porte County Sheriff's OfficeA man has been caught apparently trying to smuggle an eight-and-a-half inch pair of scissors into a jail - by hiding them in his anus.IndianaOfficials said the object was identified in a"peculiar location" after suspicions were raised when the arrested suspect refused to cooperate during a routine search on Wednesday.
The man eventually"reluctantly" agreed to an electronic body scan - when the jail's assistant commander of operations, Lieutenant Jeff Holt,"observed what appeared to be a foreign object inside the anal cavity of the arrestee". Officials said the man continued to be uncooperative but a second scan a short while later revealed the object had moved slightly and could be identified as a pair of scissors.
"A short time later, the scissors were removed from the arrestee without incident," a spokesperson for the jail added. Captain Derek J Allen, from La Porte County Sheriff's Office, said:"Lieutenant Holt is commended for relying upon his training and experience, and successfully preventing a dangerous edged object from making its way fully into the jail."They said that since the full-body scanner was first used in the jail in 2017, it had recovered a string of items including tattooing equipment, drugs, and"paraphernalia".
