Chabo's Journal: A hot arrest

Note: This is a continuation of a series of stories written by a central Texas police officer named "Darth Tang", which are being archived by Chabo, with no editing. Read more about this project.

This story was originally posted on November 21, 2004.

One of my men made a traffic stop, and I stopped by. The car reeks of pot, as does the female driver.

The inspection sticker's been altered, so the officer arrests her. I tear the car apart looking for dope (while I inventory for impound). Nothing.

At the jail, the officer requests a strip search.

Apparently, the woman had been smoking a blunt when my officer hit the lights.

She hid it inside herself.

When they recovered it at the jail during the strip search, it was still burning.
