Woman hides stolen gun inside her vagina to avoid arrest

A woman who was found by police to have a loaded gun hidden in her vagina has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Dallas Archer appeared in court today to admit one count of bringing contraband into a penal facility after a traffic stop in Kingsport, Tennessee, in April last year.

The 21-year-old was pulled over last April for driving with a suspended license before police discovered an 'unknown object' in her crotch during a search.

A female officer then took Archer, who was then 19 years old, to the bathroom where she discovered a five-shot four-inch long .22 calibre North American Arms revolver hidden inside her.

The later discovered the firearm had been stolen a year earlier from 70-year-old retired car salesman John Souther’s car.

Archer also pleaded guilty to other offences including driving without a license or proof of insurance, vandalism, marijuana possession, and failure to appear.

Her lawyer Daniel Cantwell said she never answered why she hid the gun inside herself.

Mr. Cantrell said she was also sentenced to an additional three years of community corrections on the other charges and two years' probation.
