Amy Natasha Wilhite, 39, pleaded guilty in mid-April to knowingly possessing a weapon inside the Boone County Correctional Facility by sneaking a.22 caliber pistol through jail security on Feb. 14. Wilhite accomplished this despite being searched upon her arrest. A detention sergeant is said to have performed a “thorough pat search” at the jail, and a “procedural strip search” was conducted before Wilhite was admitted to the general population.
While several outlets have reported that Wilhite hid the weapon in her vagina, police and court records said that Wilhite “had the very small revolver concealed within a body cavity when she was brought into the Boone County Jail.” Wilhite also managed to keep the deadly contraband hidden for 17 days before the firearm was discovered by prison guards.
