Female Pot Smokers Try to Hide Drugs in 'Genital Areas' During Traffic Stop

OAK CREEK, WI — When police conduct traffic stops, people try all sorts of ways to hide drugs from investigating officers - often with dubious success rates and the potential for additional charges if they're discovered.

An Oak Creek police officer observed a suspicious vehicle circling the Oak Creek Motel 6 parking lot just before 1:30 a.m. early morning on Feb. 9 while on a different police call.

According to police reports, the driver of the suspicious vehicle observed the police officers and then left the parking lot at a high rate of speed.

Officers pursued the fleeing vehicle and conducted a traffic stop a short time later. During the traffic stop, a "strong odor of marijuana was observed emitting from the vehicle" despite none of the vehicle's occupants admitting to any marijuana being present in the vehicle.

Through an on-scene investigation, reports stated that officers learned that two female occupants of the vehicle had 10 grams of marijuana stuffed in their genital areas. The marijuana was subsequently turned over to authorities.

A search of the vehicle was conducted, and officers located multiple store items in the trunk with their tags still attached.

When police checked the records of the vehicle's occupants, they learned that one person had a felony warrant from probation and parole, and a non-extraditable warrant for robbery.

The vehicle was towed from the scene, and multiple citations were issued, including possession of marijuana and resisting/obstructing an officer. The person with the outstanding warrant was transported to jail.
