MARK GREGORY VALDEZ was booked into an Oklahoma jail over the weekend, and initially was only subjected to a quick pat-down search.

That’s why he managed to get into the prison with a loaded pistol in his rectum. The loaded pistol below, to be exact.

About 16 hours into his prison stay, Valdez was subject to a cavity search whereupon the gun was discovered, and he was charged with possessing contraband in a penal institution.

Aside from the legal consequences, he also suffered some physical effects of carrying a gun in his bum for almost a day and was therefore transported to hospital.
