KINGSPORT, Tennessee (PIX11) – A teen being booked into a Tennessee jail allegedly was caught with a loaded handgun — in her vagina.

Dallas Archer, 19, was picked up for driving with a suspended license Monday and taken to the Kingsport jail, the Smoking Gun reports.

As corrections officers searched Archer, they noticed an “unidentified item” in the woman’s crotch.

Officers soon realized Archer had stuffed a loaded North American Arms 22 LR revolver in her vagina in an attempt to smuggle it into the jail.

It was revealed that the four-inch long gun had been stolen from an car burglary in 2013.

The rightful owner of the weapon, a 70-year-old car salesman, said he eventually wants the gun back but it will need a “bath in bleach.”

Archer has been charged with gun possession and introducing contraband into a penal facility.

She has since been released on bail.
