Jeffrey Barrier, of my hometown Cincinnati, Ohio, was allegedly trying to snap phonecam pics of nude women in a tanning salon. Police were called but Barrier denied the charges. Then they found his cell phone in his butt. According to a Hamilton County Sheriff's Office report, Barrier "hid evidence in his anus." The Smoking Gun has more. Link (Thanks, Tara McGinley!)

Hackers prepare for first "national holiday" in their honor

  • grimc

    @Sethum

    Maybe somebody called

  • Ratbus

    No, it wasn’t on vibrate. It was set to silent, but deadly.

  • warloc66

    Ouch, that could hurt, especially if it was a Blackberry. Or would that be a Dingleberry?

  • w000t

    Ah, the Cincinnati stash: twisted sibling of the more-famous and equally-unpleasant Cleavand steamer.

  • Takuan

    dingleberry? only if you left a call hanging

  • Lea Hernandez

    New for 2009, the Motorola Butthole Surfer.

  • Glossolalia Black

    CORNERS. Jesus, people. And probably no more lube than the cold, clammy sweat of the moment.

    Everybody’s butthole deserves better, even criminals.

  • nikos

    Simply asinine.

  • Cupcake Faerie

    How many minutes does his plan have?

  • franko

    oh, come on… SOMEBODY has to say it: pix or it didn’t happen.

  • Anonymous

    So, in the end, he had a Brownie camera?

  • Moon

    Oh, geez. I’m glad I stumbled on this thread. Hahahaha!

    There are a lot of hot women in Cincinnati, but you need to have a better plan to get naked pictures. Maybe do a Cincinnati naked tanning salon GIS.

    /OK, I did that – maybe not.

  • Phikus

    He’s just ahead of his time (ahem… or aomething like that. Talk about hands-free…)

    Ad from the future: The new a-phone with supository technology, now with brown-tooth(tm)!

  • Cowicide

    Well, he really pulled that one out of his ass.

  • gabu

    Hope it wasn’t an old Motorola Brick…. he’d end up looking like frickin’ Spongebob.

  • keitmo

    I’m guessing he is an AT&T customer: more bars in more places.

    Note to self: Never borrow another person’s cell phone — you don’t know where they’ve been.

  • Simon Greenwood

    Ah well, no-one did it… Did he ring himself up?

    Mine’s the coat made of veal.

  • CleverUserName

    Probably got crappy reception anyway…

  • sharkcellar

    What what!?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbGkxcY7YFU

  • Fish

    I thought I had stepped into Fark territory.

  • gobo

    He’d just eaten some goetta and a Three-Way and was doing what he could in a social situation, really.

  • dainel

    Be careful next time you buy a cell phone off Ebay. You don’t know where it has been before …

  • Chnoubis

    Holy crap, I went to high school with that guy. And he is likely the most famous, at this point. Which says a lot about my high school.

  • dman

    > Probably got crappy reception anyway…

    Either way, the phone is definitely buggered now!

  • Avram

    “For five years I carried your father’s cellphone in my ass….”

  • Agent 86

    The true 5th pocket?

  • Talia

    Well that was a silly thing to do, no buts about it.

  • bxrguy

    Why that cheeky devil!

  • Blue

    He was just trying to change his ringtone.

  • pauldrye

    No, actually he had to have put it in his rectum. The anus is the ring of muscle that keeps the rectum closed.

    You may now proceed with “…bloody well killed ‘im!” jokes

  • RJ

    Well, Ohio IS the cornhole state.

  • The Unusual Suspect

    Be careful not to dial a wrong number in Cincinnati. You could find yourself talking to a real ass.

  • JDubsMontreal

    Ha. That’s what I call “smell phone” technology. I’ll be here all week…

  • artbot

    Finally someone grants my wish and shoves their cell phone up their ass.

  • Lonin

    Can you rear me now?

  • Takuan

    there’s no law against keeping your phone there. I suggest it for passing through TSA held territory.

  • Talia

    Ahahahaha, Lonin. You win.

  • nigelstwin

    His words upon arrest?
    “Oh, poo.”

  • Talia

    Or maybe he’s just a cyanide and happiness fan.

  • dbarak

    I wonder if he had it on vibrate?

  • Anselm

    Well, there’s a second reason why most tight asses wouldn’t want to spend the money on a cell phone.

  • sonipitts

    How much you wanna bet there was an epic rock-paper-scissor battle to choose the guy who had to do retrieval duty?

  • jenjen

    That might have been illegal in some states.

  • Takuan

    that’s what the antennae is for

  • Takuan

    clearly not a Wet Spots fan

  • CastanhasDoPara

    I have to wonder who was in his fave five.

  • Sethum

    I keep wondering what led the police to discovering the phone…
