Anal retention: Suspect found to be hiding handgun in his rectum
An Indiana ex-con took “concealed carry” to a whole new level when cops found he was stashing a gun in his anal cavity during a traffic stop.
Christopher Boyd, 32, was riding in a vehicle that was pulled over at 2 a.m. Monday in Evansville because its license plate was obscured, according to a police report obtained by the Smoking Gun.
When cops patted down Boyd, they found “a small bag with multiple pills” in his right sock, which the suspect reportedly claimed were Percocets that he had scored from his “Aunt Trish” to deal with the pain of having a “bullet lodged in his spine.”
As the search continued, Boyd claimed he was unable to spread his legs due to his spinal injury, according to the report.
After being taken into custody, officials noticed he was “walking with a limp and appeared to be clenching his buttocks when he walked,” the police report said.
A body scan revealed a “large object” in his groin area, and a strip search revealed that Boyd had a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard stuffed in his rectum, the outlet said.
The Bodyguard is a .380-caliber gun that weighs less than a pound and is about 5 inches long, according to the manufacturer, which bills the $400 piece as “lightweight” and “easy to carry.”
It was unclear from the police report if the gun was loaded when it was lodged in his anus.
Boyd had previously been convicted of attempted murder, burglary and domestic battery, and was banned from carrying guns.
Cops also found two bags of weed “tucked next to Boyd’s scrotum,” the article said. Recreational marijuana remains illegal in Indiana.
The suspect was charged with an array of felony drug, gun and trafficking charges and was being held at Vanderburgh County Jail without bond.
The driver of the vehicle that was pulled over and another passenger were not charged.

According to his lawyer...
Kyle Rittenhouse is now broke
Kyle is now 20 years old and, being out of the media spotlight, is no longer being sponsored by the gun nut anti-BLM crowd. So despite the fact that he can't even buy a drink legally, Kyle has been forced to consider working for a living. It's a tough effing life.
Of course, his lawyer wants to get paid for defending Kyle in a civil case brought by the family of one of his victims, so I guess he's hoping someone will crank up another crowd-funded payday for him...

Australian Man Survives Crocodile Attack by Biting Back
"It was a big grab and [the crocodile] shook me like a rag doll and took off back into the water, pulling me in," the farmer recalled
A man went toe-to-toe with a crocodile — and survived.
Australian cattle producer Colin Deveraux told Australia's ABC News that he was attacked by one of the creatures while heading toward the Finniss River to do some fencing. He said he had stopped by a lake when he saw fish acting oddly and swimming toward the middle of the pool of water.
"The water had receded and it was down to this dirty water in the middle. I took two steps and [the crocodile] latched onto my right foot," Deveraux recalled to ABC News. "It was a big grab and he shook me like a rag doll and took off back into the water, pulling me in."
However, the farmer would not let the creature win without a fight, so he kicked the creature in the ribs with his other foot and even tried to bite the animal back. By a lucky twist of fate, he said he managed to bite the crocodile in a way that made it release him.
"I was in such an awkward position … but by accident my teeth caught his eyelid. It was pretty thick, like holding onto leather, but I jerked back on his eyelid and he let go,” he explained.
He said the whole incident happened in about eight seconds. Once the crocodile let go, that was all he needed to escape the situation, and he “leapt away and took off with great steps up to where my car was” — all with the crocodile trailing behind.
"He chased me for a bit, maybe [13 feet], but then stopped," Deveraux told ABC News.
However, he noted that he had an open wound on his right leg from where the crocodile bit him and needed to immediately address it before anything else, using a towel and some rope to create a makeshift tourniquet to help staunch the bleeding.
His brother was able to eventually get to him and take him to Royal Darwin Hospital, located 80 miles north of where he was, per the BBC. That is where he has been staying for the past month in order to receive treatment for the injury.
He said the biggest problem with the wound was that it was infected with “all the bad bacteria” from the murky waters where the crocodile rose from.
"[My leg] was opened up [badly] and over ten days in a row, I think, they had to flush it," Deveraux said, though he noted that he was lucky the crocodile bit him on his leg as opposed to anywhere else.
“If [the crocodile] had bitten me somewhere else, it would have been different,” he added.
He told ABC News that while the crocodile was “removed” from the area, the memories from the attack have stayed with him and have helped him look at his life differently: "It means I've got to change what I do. I've been walking around that swamp country too long fixing fences and living life, but it's opened my eyes."
