LARGO, Fla. (AP) — A man faces burglary and tampering charges after an X-ray machine revealed a dark mass near his stomach while he was being booked into jail.
Pinellas County Sheriff's officials say the mass turned out to be two necklaces stolen during a Dec. 10 burglary in Safety Harbor.
Twenty-one-year-old Joseph Ramos was arrested Dec. 11 when he was stopped for driving a vehicle that was stolen during the burglary. Various items from the home were inside the vehicle.
When Ramos was being booked into jail, he stepped on the SecurPass X-ray machine and the dark spot was identified as the necklaces. He underwent surgery to remove them. The owner later identified the items.
Jail officials have been using the X-ray machine since June to detect items concealed on inmates
Worst burglar since the HamBurglar. Just bust your way into a jewelry store, get caught, eat necklaces that you have no shot of keeping in you/getting out of you, and immediately get X-rayed and busted.
Joseph Ramos had no chance once the cops saw how constipated he was. Poor guy must have been on the floor trying not to shit himself. It would've been absolutely fantastic to see his face after they said he was undergoing immediate surgery to get those necklaces back.
The second necklace must have really stung. Couldn't really imagine what its like to swallow jewelry, but its gotta be similar to trying to swallow cold brussels sprouts.
The Wet Bandits would've gotten away with it though:
