Man brings gun into jail hidden in his body rolls

This gentleman is George Vera, 25, who managed to smuggle a 9mm handgun and 2 clips with him into a Houston area jail. The 600 pound fellow allegedly hid the contraband between layers of his body fat. From Click2Houston.com:

Houston police said… Vera was arrested Aug. 2 and taken to the city jail. He spent a day there before being transferred to the Harris County Jail. After being there for 14 hours, going through intake procedures, he was taken to the showers, the final step before going to his cell. There, Vera told police he had a 9mm handgun on him, along with 2 clips.

(Former Harris Counter Detention Major Mark) Kellar said Vera should have been searched at least three times before getting to the jail.

Houston Police Officers Union President Gary Blankinship said cadets are trained how to search morbidly obese people.

"We teach officers to lift up and look under," Blankinship said. "The officer may not have arrested anyone this big before."
