While being booked into jail on burglary charges, a Florida man with an appetite for trouble was caught hiding contraband ...in his stomach!
Cops say the thief swallowed two stolen necklaces right before he was brought to the slammer.
JOSEPH BRAVO RAMOS, 21, of Clearwater, was arrested in December after being pulled over for reckless driving. Cops quickly discovered that the Chevy Tahoe he was in had been reported stolen during a burglary the previous day. And he got into even more trouble when he was X-rayed by a full-body scanner, similar to the type used at airports around the country, while being processed at the Pinellas County Jail.
The X-rays showed an unusual dark mass in Ramos’ stomach, which medical personnel determined had to be removed surgically.
