After jail deputies conducting a strip search spotted what appeared to be a crack pipe “hanging from her vagina,” a Florida Woman claimed that the item was actually a sex toy and not drug paraphernalia, according to an arrest affidavit.
Carmela Ann Manies, 57, was busted yesterday on a warrant charging her with failing to appear in court in connection with an alleged theft last year at a Walmart store.
While Manies was being processed into the Pinellas County jail, a booking officer “observed an anomaly” after the inmate passed through a full-body scanner. During a subsequent strip search, jailers reported, a “glass pipe was protruding from defendant’s vagina.”
The affidavit states that Maine then took the contraband from her body and “intentionally threw it on the ground and steeped [sic] on it in an effort to destroy evidence.” She then “tried to explain” that the item was really a sex toy, despite the fact that it was “consistent with a crack cocaine pipe” and coated in “burnt markings,” police noted.
According to the report, Maines was charged with having contraband in a county jail facility and tampering with evidence in connection with the event.
According to reports, Maines had been previously convicted of trespassing, disorderly conduct, fraud, battery, driving without a license, and failing to appear in court.
