BRIDGETON — A man being processed into the Cumberland County jail asked to use the bathroom, and then changed his mind when officers said he’d have to be searched first.
NJ.com reports that Darquan R. Lee, 21, was arrested on a contempt of court warrant on Friday. He asked to use the bathroom but then refused to after officers told him that he would be searched both before and after.
Officers became suspicious and Lee was subjected to a strop search, which turned up a .25-caliber automatic handgun “shoved in his anal cavity” and “between his butt cheeks,” according to a report.
The handgun was reported stolen from Alabama.
Lee was then charged with possession of a weapon, unlawful possession of a weapon, and certain persons not to have a weapon and receiving stolen property.
He is currently being held without bail.
