So much for placing a suspect in handcuffs, in the back of a patrol car to make sure they don’t do anything wrong or illegal. One woman from Kentucky is in the running for Houdini’s replacement after she was able to retrieve a hidden stash of drugs and inhale it inside the car, while in handcuffs.
According to a court citation obtained by The Smoking Gun, police responded to a call about a couple apparently intoxicated, getting ready to drive off in a car. When officers arrived at the scene, they found the couple outside the vehicle, looking pretty much out of it.
Kathryn Ahlers, 26, had a 17-month child with her and she was attempting to remove the toddler from the carseat when police arrived. Cops noticed that the baby had no food and that the nappy was soaked in urine. They also say that Ahlers was obviously under the influence, staggering on her feet and slurring her words.
Ahlers and her BF told the cops that they had stopped the car because they’d gotten lost on their way from Cincinnati to Lexington. The cops didn’t buy the story and, since she seemed “manifestly under the influence and a danger to herself and others,” she was arrested, handcuffed and placed in the backseat of a patrol car.
And the Houdini act began. Whilst cuffed with her hands behind her back, Ahlers was somehow able to remove a plastic bag from her intimate area, spread the powder on the backseat and snort it up. Then, as the cop approached the car, she placed the bag back inside of her body – again, while handcuffed with her hands behind her back.
“Warned that she would face an additional charge if found in possession of narcotics inside the local jail, Ahlers ‘then revealed the substance from between her legs’,” The Smoking Gun writes. “Ahlers was charged with endangering the welfare of a minor, public intoxication, tampering with physical evidence, and possession of a controlled substance.”
The court citation doesn’t say what type of drug Ahlers had on her but whatever it was, it must have been pretty strong stuff.
