POLICE in Pennsylvania made an "unusual find" after collaring a suspected teenage drink driver. A mountain of buried treasure … up his bum.
Police found the seemingly intoxicated Christopher Scheller, 18, near his car after it crashed into a tree in Southern York County early in December.
Officers had not suspected Scheller of any further naughty behaviour as they had found no junk in his trunk.
However, WHTM-TV reports that when Scheller was sent to hospital for an examination, doctors decided it would be wise to take an X-ray as the teen was in an unusual degree of discomfort.
The image turned up "an abnormality".
Several "abnormalities", in fact.
Scheller refused to have the objects removed. He would be fine, he insisted.
But he wasn't.
Eventually the pain became so great that he consented to being placed on the surgeon's table, under the surgeons' steady, latex-clad hands.
Here's what they found:
- Four bracelets
- Four necklaces
- 11 ladies rings
- A socket wrench
- A bag of synthetic marijuana
Police smelt a rat, among other things.
So they investigated the objects.
It turned out that the items had that evening been stolen from a house in Heidelberg Township.
Scheller, desperate to conceal the evidence upon the arrival of police at the scene of his accident, tried to stash the items.
The first place he thought of was … up his bum.
He was charged with theft, receiving stolen property and driving while under the influence.
