LINCOLNTON -- Police officers normally find drugs on suspects in their pockets, socks or even shoes.

One Lincolnton woman, however, decided to stash her drugs in an uncommon place: her rear end.

The incident started Sunday afternoon when officer Billy Burgin was on routine patrol. He noticed Bobbi Jo Towery, 31, of High street, driving in the Sycamore and Cedar Streets area.

He learned her driver's license was revoked, so he stopped her. According to the incident report, Burgin also learned Towery was wanted for non-payment of child support in Catawba County.

Burgin called for Lt. Randy Willis to come back him up. Willis ended up transporting Towery to the Lincoln County Magistrate's Office.

While in custody at the Magistrate's Officec, the report said Towery pulled something from her pants and started swallowing a substance.

Officers questioned Towery, who refused to tell them what she was eating.

The report indicated Towery finally told them it was Xanex.

According to the report, officers searched Towery again and found more Xanex in her rectum.

She was taken to jail on charges of altering criminal evidence; possession of xanex and resisting arrest for not cooperating with authorities. She was jailed under a $8,416 bond. Her first appearance hearing was Monday in Lincolnton District Court.
