Stolen gun falls from inmate’s body cavity during search at north Alabama jail

It’s not yet clear whether the owner wants it back, but Limestone County authorities recovered a stolen gun when it fell from an inmate’s body cavity during a search at the jail.

Jesse O’Neal Roberts, 23, of Elkmont, was being booked into the Limestone County Jail on a misdemeanor charge of public intoxication when the weapon fell from his body, said sheriff’s spokesman Stephen Young.  

Jesse_Roberts-1.jpg“I immediately considered that he defecated on himself before noticing a familiar shape in the form of a pistol in his boxers,” a corrections officer said in a report.

Roberts was arrested after midnight when deputies responded to a call about a prowler on Esten Lane. The caller found Roberts around his garage and held the suspect at gunpoint until deputies arrived, Young said in a news release.

Gun    Deputy Chad Harbin found Roberts, who was showing signs of impairment, and arrested him for public intoxication, Young said.

When they arrived at the jail, corrections officers noticed Roberts appeared to be walking “strangely,” Young said.

While being searched, Roberts stumbled and the pistol fell from his body cavity, Young said.

The weapon, which was reported stolen from Florence, was not loaded. It is a Jimenez .380-cailber pistol valued at $100.

In addition to public intoxication, Roberts is charged with first-degree promoting prison contraband, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and fourth-degree receiving stolen property. Bail is set at $7,250.

Asked about the incident, Sheriff Mike Blakely said, ” ‘It’ happens,” according to the news release.

It’s not yet clear whether the owner wants the gun back, authorities said.

  1. guess he wont have any problem with other things shoved up there in the future , especially where he’s going

  2. Is this “National Shove Things Up Your Butt Day” or something?
    This is the second rectal story Iv’e read this morning.
    This one isn’t even believable.

    “Asked about the incident, Sheriff Mike Blakely said, ” ‘It’ happens,” according to the news release.”

    Not in this case it didn’t.

  3. I would think that with a cavity that big.
    This person should really have sought out a dentist instead of a policeman.
    You do know that tooth and gum disease can actually kill you.
    Almost as deadly as pulling a gun out of your cavities.
    I would suggest getting it filled or capped.

  4. “While being searched, Roberts stumbled and the pistol fell from his body cavity, Young said.”

    BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    How the hell does one STUMBLE during a body search, when they’re STATIONARY to begin with?????

    Ripley’s Believe it or Not.

    NOT!

    UNLESS… it was ONLY the barrel jammed up there, with the rest just hanging between the cheeks.
