A woman who appeared to be pregnant and her alleged accomplice were arrested in South Carolina when it turned out she had been carrying more than 1,500 grams of cocaine in a rubber pregnancy belly, police said.
Anthony Miller, 60, and Cemeka Mitchem, 41, were pulled over last month in a traffic stop along an interstate highway, authorities said in a statement.
Eventually, as Mitchem noticed the deputies’ suspicion, she attempted to run away, according to authorities. “Very quickly, drugs fell from the fake rubber stomach,” cops said.
Authorities said they eventually confiscated more than 1,500 grams of cocaine from the traffic stop.Both Miller and Mitchem now face charges of drug trafficking.
They were denied bail and remain jailed.
Mitchem's attorney did not respond to Inside Edition Digital's request for comment. Court records do not list an attorney for Miller.
