Cops Believe Inmate Hid Revolver In His Rectum

Friday, a 22 year-old Georgia resident, Michael Leon Ward, was stopped by North Carolina Troopers for speeding.

Troopers entered his information in the computer and learned he was a fugitive on a murder warrant in Atlanta.  He resisted arrest and police had to use a stun gun to control him.

After a search of his car, Ward was also charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.  So...he's taken to jail, processed and place in a cell.

The next morning he calls jailers to his cell...he says someone is trying to kill him and, in the toilet, is a 10 inch, .38 barrel revolver.

Police say he brought the gun to jail in his rectum...What?!!?

Police say he was stripped searched...why didn't they find the gun during the search?  Police can't answer that question, but say they are investigating.

Ward says someone was trying to kill him...he found the gun in his cell and threw it in the toilet.  But maybe he had to poop and it came out in the toilet and Ward is trying to find a way to explain the gun being in his cell.

Ironically, Ward was taken to the hospital Saturday for injuries that may have come from the revolver that police believe he concealed in his rectum.

If police are right, Ward must have had the gun in his rectum before they stopped him...that could be why he was speeding.

Ward's behavior brings new meaning to the term "concealed weapon".  After close analysis, something about this story just doesn't smell right.

The gun wasn't loaded so bringing the gun in his backdoor didn't kill him.  No, it didn't kill him, but it certainly rectum.

Special Note:

Today, we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  One of my favorite quotes by this great man:

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
