Man sentenced after cops find loaded gun stashed inside his BUTTOCKS during strip search
A MAN pleaded guilty on Friday to weapons charges after cops found a loaded gun inside his buttocks as they strip-searched him in jail last year.
Justin Savoie, 24, was arrested in Golden Meadow, Louisiana, in December 2019 after police responded to “suspicious activity” at a home he was in with a woman.
According to The Smoking Gun, cops found Savoie with a handgun, drug paraphernalia, and weed.
Investigators then reportedly seized “several other guns” from his truck, in addition to “homemade silencers.”
Savoie was arrested and while being processed by the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, he was strip-searched.
During that search, cops said Savoie had a .25 caliber Titan pistol “concealed in his rear end.”
The firearm – said to have a 2.5-inch barrel and be more than four inches long – was loaded.
