Obese Texas inmate hides gun in his flabs of fat


HOUSTON (AP) -- An obese inmate in Texas has been charged after officials learned he had a gun hidden under flabs of his own flesh.

Twenty-five-year-old George Vera was charged with possession of a firearm in a correctional facility after he told a guard at the Harris County Jail about the unloaded 9mm pistol. The Houston Chronicle reported Thursday that Vera was originally arrested on charges of selling illegal copies of compact discs.

The 500-pound man was searched during his arrest and again at a city jail and the county jail, but officers never found the weapon in his rolls of skin. Vera admitted having the gun during a shower break at the county jail.

Wow, I can totally relate. I mean, just last week I was wondering where I should hide the ice cream sandwiches I bought, (for the baby, of course) and then I thought "hey, what about my fat folds?" Chris will never find the ice cream now. Mwahahahaha!!!!!

So now the baby's eating ice cream too? Poor Chris. Your pizza and ice cream are no longer safe.
