When she was booked into the Boone County jail in Columbia, Missouri, she passed an initial search by the Columbia Police Department, both during a pat down and strip search. Seventeen days into her sentence, jailers discovered the 4-inch, .22 caliber revolver that was loaded with five rounds and weighed just 4.6 ounces. The gun was discovered wrapped in plastic among Wilhite\u2019s items in the jail.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators allege Wilhite concealed the small weapon in her vagina to avoid detection but later \u201cremoved the firearm from her body and concealed it within her personal belongings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring questioning at the jail, Wilhite admitted possessing the firearm, but claimed \u2018she was only holding it for another female detainee.\u2019 But fellow inmates in Wilhite\u2019s housing unit \u2018all stated Amy was in possession of the firearm,\u2019\u201d an investigator reported,\u201d the outlet wrote. \u201cIn addition to copping to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesmokinggun.com\/file\/prison-pouch-sentence?page=1\">gun smuggling charge<\/a>, Wilhite pleaded guilty on April 19 to the felony drug and weapons counts for which she was originally arrested. She was ordered to serve five years on each conviction, with the sentences to run concurrently with the 10-year prison term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, other women have smuggled items into prison in their vaginas as well. In 2013, an Oklahoma woman was sentenced to 25 years in state prison for concealing a loaded handgun in her vagina after being arrested on a drug charge, the Smoking Gun <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesmokinggun.com\/documents\/loaded-gun-in-vagina-sentencing-576342\">reported<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChristie Dawn Harris, 28, last week entered no contest pleas to three felony counts during a hearing in Pontotoc County District Court. Harris, whose rap sheet already includes\u00a0multiple felony convictions, copped on June 27 to possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, gun possession, and bringing contraband into jail,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<p>Harris had been arrested after a drug dog alerted police to her vehicle, where police found meth, drug paraphernalia, a gun, and a loaded magazine. When she was being transported to the local jail, Harris told an officer \u201cseveral times that she needed to go to the bathroom,\u201d the police department reported.<\/p>\n<p>Police found the gun sticking out of her vagina while being searched ahead of booking.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, 19-year-old Dallas Archer smuggled a small weapon into jail in her vagina after being arrested for driving with a suspended license, the Smoking Gun <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesmokinggun.com\/documents\/loaded-gun-hidden-in-vagina-576432\">reported<\/a> at the time. Jailers found an \u201cunknown object\u201d in the teen\u2019s crotch while searching her and discovered the small revolver upon further examination. The concealed weapon was determined to have been stolen during an auto burglary in 2013 and belonged to a 70-year-old man.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, 27-year-old Anika Witt pleaded guilty to weapons possession after hiding a gun in her vagina when she was arrested.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
