A pot-loving Georgia couple went to extreme measures to destroy evidence during a high-speed chase this week, according to police.
The passenger in the car, 22-year-old Brian Turner, is accused of eating a bag of marijuana before authorities forced the vehicle to stop Sunday night in the Atlanta suburb of Carrollton.
Police said the woman behind the wheel, Whitney Bailey, took a different approach. The 23-year-old driver apparently hid some of her pot in an unspecified “body cavity,” a police spokeswoman told local Fox affiliate WAGA-TV.
Their joint effort to destroy the evidence went up in smoke moments later, police said.
Both suspects were busted and slapped with multiple charges. Bailey also had to go to a hospital so medical staff could remove the drug from her body, according to the station.
Bailey, who’s accused of stealing the car from a friend, was charged with felony theft, fleeing a police officer, reckless driving and other traffic violations. Turner was also charged with theft as well as willful obstruction of law enforcement officers and probation violation.
The pair was still being held without bond Thursday at the Carroll County Jail, online records show.
