Female Drug Suspect, 20, Had Loaded Handgun In Body Cavity
A woman being booked into an Illinois jail had a loaded handgun hidden in her vagina, according to corrections officers who found the weapon during a strip search of the suspect.
Anika Witt, 27, and a male acquaintance were arrested early Thursday morning after their car was stopped for speeding on Interstate 55 just north of Bloomington. A police search of the vehicle and its occupants turned up heroin and Ecstasy.
Witt was subsequently transported to the McLean County jail, where the intake process included a strip search.
During the search of Witt, a female jailer recovered a loaded Kimber .380 caliber handgun from the suspect’s vagina. The gun had a fully loaded clip and a bullet in the chamber.
The handgun weighs 13.4 ounces empty... and is 5.6” long.
In addition to narcotics possession charges, Witt, who lives in Missouri, was also hit with a felony weapons count. She is locked up in lieu of $40,035 bond.
