He’s in quite a predicament.
A man from Florida, arrested for suspected drug possession, was also concealing something much larger—a thermos that he allegedly inserted into his rectum prior to his apprehension, according to law enforcement officials.
Walter Frymire, 51, faced his 26th arrest on Saturday evening after someone reported a naked man in a public restroom at a park.
Upon arrival, officers discovered Frymire—but he was fully dressed.
Initially, he was released as there were no technical violations; however, he soon crossed the street and reportedly trespassed on some nearby train tracks, as indicated by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
A responding deputy conducted a pat-down and discovered a “glass pipe with burned residue consistent with methamphetamine.”
Frymire reportedly confessed to using meth for 28 years, per a police affidavit obtained by The Smoking Gun.
Believing that was all he had on him, Frymire was charged with trespassing and possession of methamphetamine and transported to the county jail—until he went through the body scanner.
Sheriff Grady Judd, who is accustomed to bizarre incidents in Florida, was left astonished.
“I’ve mentioned before how meth can make people do outrageous things, right? You won’t believe this,” he remarked.
An X-ray clearly showed a foreign object lodged in Frymire’s body, extending from his hip up to his ribcage.
The object turned out to be the thermos, which Frymire claimed he “didn’t swallow.”
“You might have thought Walter was trying to smuggle drugs into the jail. Instead, he brought a thermos. That’s right, he put it up the exit ramp, if you catch my drift,” Sheriff Judd quipped as he held up a thermos he estimated was similar to the one in Frymire.
Medical personnel later removed the thermos surgically before Frymire was finally placed behind bars.
“The deputy saved his life. And that was after Walter threatened to harm the deputy for arresting him,” Judd stated.
It remains uncertain if there was anything inside the thermos, but he did not receive any further charges related to the internal contraband.
“I told you you’d struggle to believe this. I’ve never seen anything like it before. Time for another cup of coffee,” Judd concluded his TikTok-style press conference with a grin.
Over the years, Judd has gained some fame for his imaginative and entertaining discussions regarding crime in Polk County, often enhanced by flashy graphics and props.
In late August, he sported a gold chain from an alleged drug dealer his department arrested and bragged about acquiring the suspect’s “drip.”
One wanted man in Florida challenged the sheriff and his team to catch him. Judd humorously noted that the suspect “done messed up”—and just days later, they apprehended him.
