Before the officer could attempt to recover it, the driver grabbed it and stuffed it down her pants. Our officer then requested a female officer to help search for what he suspected was hidden contraband. The driver took that opportunity to provide several false names to our officers. It was later revealed that she did so because she had a felony warrant from another law enforcement agency. On the ride to jail, the woman retrieved the item she had concealed and attempted to eat it. Our officer was able to remove what turned out to be a baggy or marijuana from the woman's mouth.
