The following story is brought to you by three decades of hard drugs . . .
A 51-year-old guy in Winter Haven, Florida was arrested the other day. And when cops booked him into jail, they found the largest item they’ve ever seen hidden in someone’s REAR END. Or as the local sheriff put it, his “exit ramp.”
They’d gotten a call about a naked man in a public bathroom. But he was fully clothed by the time they got there, so they let him go. Then he trespassed on a set of train tracks right in front of them, and threatened to kill a cop.
They put him through an X-ray when they got him to the jail. And that’s when they realized, he was hiding a full-sized THERMOS up there. (!!!)
They didn’t say exactly how big it was, or the brand. But they shared the X-ray, and it looks big. Like 20 ounces, maybe more.
They thought he was trying to smuggle drugs or weapons into jail. But apparently, it was just the thermos.
They rushed him to a hospital, where a “specialist” removed it. (You know you flunked med school when that’s your “specialty.”)
His name is Walter Frymire (FRY-meer), and it turned out he’d been storing the thermos inside his body for a FULL DAY.
He told them he put it up there 24 hours earlier. Officials say he would have died if the thermos had stayed where it was much longer.
He’s got a long rap sheet with at least 25 other arrests and five stints in prison. He also said he’s been using meth for 28 years. (Don’t do drugs, kids.)
He’s facing multiple charges, but not for the thermos. They also found a meth pipe on him, but just in one of his pockets.
(Here’s the X-ray and his mugshot.)
