Last year, Tennessee teenager Dallas Archer was arrested for driving with a suspended license but police got more than theyd bargained for when they took her in. Arriving at Kingsport jail, Archer was given the mandatory search upon being booked, when the female police officer in charge noticed what she referred to as an unknown object in the nineteen-year-olds special area. Taking the woman aside into a bathroom, she discovered a four-inch long NAA 22LR revolver hidden in Archers vagina. Police ran a trace on the gun to find that it had belonged to a John Souther, a retiree who lived in town it had been stolen from his car the year before. Archer was charged with weapons possession and introducing contraband into prison as well as the original vehicular charges, and was released after posting a sizeable bail. Mr. Souther agreed to take the weapon back again, but not before the little fella had a deep clean in some bleach. Well, thats just rude. Weirdly, Archer isnt even the first woman to be arrested and found to be containing a firearm in a wildly inappropriate holster: shes the fourth we know of, after Victoria Lundy in 2006, Christie Dawn Harris in 2013, and Jennifer McCarthy, writer Cormac McCarthys ex-wife, only a few months earlier in 2014. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase packing heat.
