Tennessee police say they found a gun hidden inside a woman's genitalia during a routine search by a female officer after she was arrested. The gun was fully loaded.

As The Smoking Gun reports, 19-year-old Dallas Archer was arrested for driving with a suspended license and brought to the Kingsport jail on Monday afternoon.

A female officer noticed an "unknown object" in Archer's private area as she was being searched. The officer escorted Archer to a bathroom and upon further inspection found a "North American Arms 22 LR revolver (loaded) which Ms. Dallas had concealed in her vagina," according to the Kingsport Police Department report obtained by The Smoking Gun.

Archer is now facing additional charges of possession of a firearm and stolen property and introducing contraband into a penal facility.

Upon further investigation, police learned that the four-inch long gun was "stolen from an auto burglary in 2013," the police report said.

The owner of the gun, 70-year-old John Souther, told TSG the weapon was stolen from his 1994 Mustang while it was sitting in his carport. Police told Souther his gun was found, but did not tell him how.

"Oh Gosh," the retired car salesman told TSG when he eventually learned his gun's fate.

Souther said he intends to keep the gun, which is valued at $250. But "the little fellow" will need "a bath in bleach," he told TSG.

Archer was released from the jail after posting $6,000 bond, TSG reported.

This is not the first time loaded weapons have been found inside a woman's private parts.

A woman from Oklahoma had a loaded gun concealed in her vagina when she was arrested last July. The woman, 28-year-old Christie Dawn Harris, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for several felony charges including possession of methamphetamine, TSG reported.
