DWI Arrestee Allegedly Tries to Hide Drugs in Rectum

ROUND ROCK, TX - A woman allegedly tried to hide marijuana and prescription pills in her rectum after she was arrested for a DWI.

Round Rock Police pulled over Alexandra Ruder, 23, after they witnessed her driving erratically on I-35 early Sunday morning, according to a police affidavit obtained by KEYE TV.

The cops said Ruder was slurring her words and appeared unsteady on her feet. When police searched the vehicle they found alprazolam and hydrocodone, both of which are controlled substances that the suspect did not have a prescription for, KEYE TV reported.

Police transported Ruder to Round Rock Police Headquarters. When they removed the suspect from the cruiser they noticed white powder and a green leafy substance where she had been sitting accompanied by a strong odor of marijuana, according to KEYE TV. White pills were also found on the floorboards in the back of the police cruiser.

Ruder reportedly told police she needed to change her tampon while in the holding cell.

The detainee restroom has a toilet that does not flush and when Ruder discovered this she allegedly attempted to hide partially dissolved hydrocodone pills in a wad of toilet paper, KEYE TV reported.

KEYE TV added a search of Ruder’s person turned up marijuana, alprazolam and hydrocodone hidden in her rectum.

Ruder is charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, a third degree felony, according to online court documents.
