Woman Tries to Hide Heroin in Her Vagina in Middletown: Police

She and a male companion were stopped in Middletown Township June 30 and searched, police said.

Middletown, NJ - A Hazlet woman was charged with trying to hide heroin in her vagina when she and a male companion were stopped by police in Middletown Township late last month. This is not exactly an uncommon occurrence: A Manalapan man was found hiding 12 folds of heroin in his buttocks in June, and in December, a Keansburg woman tried to hide Xanax in her vagina before being searched by police. In that case, she took the pills out and swallowed them before the police could confiscate them.

Police stopped Kristen Squeo, 34, and David Kneipp, 30, both of South Park Avenue in Hazlet, on Thursday, June 30 in Middletown Township, near Keansburg High School. Both had heroin and Xanax on them, police said, enough that they intended to sell the drugs.

When the couple was stopped and searched, Squeo tried to hide a cut straw of heroin inside her vagina, police said. She was charged with knowingly concealing physical evidence in her vaginal cavity, a crime of the fourth degree.
