Cheeky inmate overpacked for jail stay, astonished cops say

WENATCHEE — A full load of contraband came into the Chelan County Regional Justice Center on Wednesday night, leaving law enforcement officers amazed.

Coming in rectally — via one person — were a green cigarette lighter, cigarette rolling papers, a golf-ball size baggie of tobacco, a bottle of tattoo ink, eight tattoo needles, a one-inch-long smoking pipe and a small baggie of suspected marijuana, said Sgt. John Kruse, a Wenatchee Police Department spokesman.

“We were all wondering, ‘How do you put all that up there?’ ” Kruse said. “The tobacco was pretty impressive; it was a good ounce.”

Gavin Stanger, 24, of East Wenatchee, was booked into jail about 10 p.m. on a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct, said Phil Stanley, jail administrator. The inmate had arranged to serve three days in jail on the charge.

He said no contraband was found on a pat-down search or on a later strip search. About 90 minutes later, with Stanger in a single holding jail, a jailer found a plastic bag and duct tape floating in the cell’s toilet. After being questioned by jailers, the man surrendered the contraband.

The man will be charged with another misdemeanor: introduction of contraband into the jail, Kruse said.

But we would never act this way. There's a big difference between him anus.

I wish I could say this type of behavior is rare, butthole families have been known to smuggle contraband this way.

Thank you Governess Haywire and all you liberal voters for welcoming so many illegal alien gangs to our state who use their rectum for bad instead of good.. We should boycott Arizona for trying to do something to fight the crime waves by hoards of invading gangs. We welcome them here in Washington. This is the fruit of your liberal voting and policies. I'm so glad you are proud of what you have done. If the borders aren't secured and soon, more and more violent criminal types will be migrating to the Pacific Northwest to use their rectum for bad instead of good. It's well known in the Southwest that Washington and Oregon are soft on rectal crimes, so they'll be in your cities sooner than you can imagine. Heck, they're here now creating havoc in the Valley, and when they're caught, a slap on the rectum and a tiny fine is all they get. Now these fools are holding a session for illegals to teach them how to become legal--what's up with that. If they show up--ICE should be there to take them back to thier border.

Gavin Stanger doesn't sound like an illegal alien name to me. This is what I meant.

Way to take a funny story and turn it into some political rant that nobody will care about. I'm against illegal immigration, but nuts like you are hurting legitimate arguments and making us sound like a bunch of crazy people. Get away from society.

Wow I would have to say very funny to be the butt of the joke sounds crappy. It is nice to be able to laugh at something once and a while instead of reading political news so way to go everyone.
