A routine traffic stop in Indiana resulted in an arrest after authorities discovered a man had allegedly concealed a firearm and pills in his body, The Smoking Gun reported.
Police reportedly stopped the vehicle carrying 32-year-old Christopher Boyd due to an obstructed license plate, The Smoking Gun reported. After a thorough search, authorities released Boyd’s companions but detained him for further questioning. Authorities allegedly discovered Boyd had “a small bag with multiple pills” in his right sock. The ex-con allegedly claimed that the pills were Percocets obtained from his aunt and that the medication was for managing pain from a “bullet lodged in his spine.”

After he was taken into custody, the authorities grew suspicious of Boyd since he “was now walking with a limp and appeared to be clenching his buttocks when he walked.” A body scanner reportedly revealed marijuana stashed near Boyd’s groin area, according to The Smoking Gun.

A subsequent search led authorities to discover a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard in his rectal cavity, The Smoking Gun reported. The weapon was a .380-caliber handgun. His previous convictions included attempted murder, burglary, and domestic battery. His criminal history legally prohibits him from carrying firearms, police said, according to the outlet.
