Attempting to conceal evidence turned into an embarrassing trip to the emergency room for an East Montgomery County woman, and she went to jail anyway
Around 6 p.m. Friday, a Precinct 4 Deputy Constable responded to a fraud case at the Dollar General in the 19600 block of FM 1485 where suspects believed to have previously written checks on a cancelled account were attempting to repeat the act. The suspects left before the deputy arrived. However, he located the vehicle on US 59 near SH 242 and initiated a traffic stop. The deputy made contact with the driver, Kevin Hales, front passenger Christina Searcy, and backseat passengers Melinda Robertson and Kimberly Kinn.
The deputy smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. When the driver opened the door to step out of the vehicle, a marijuana cigarette fell out in plain sight of the deputy. A search of the vehicle revealed a coin purse containing several small plastic bags with cocaine inside.
All four suspects were taken into custody and transported to the Precinct 4 Constable’s Office for booking. During that process, the deputy reminded the suspects they would face additional charges if they attempted to smuggle contraband into the county jail. Kinn revealed she had a methamphetamine smoking pipe in her bra, which she removed and handed over to the deputy. The pipe field tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine. Searcy also confessed having a methamphetamine smoking pipe, but it was not in her bra. Instead, she had inserted the pipe in her vagina. Searcy was given an opportunity to remove it, but found the pipe was stuck, and informed the deputy.
An ambulance responded to the Constable’s Office and transported Searcy to the Kingwood Emergency Room, where the pipe was extracted from her vagina. The pipe field tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine. Searcy was released into the custody of Precinct 4 deputies and transported to jail.
The owner of the checking account that was the reason for the original call decided against pressing charges. However, all four suspects found themselves behind bars for drug offenses.
