Tennessee Woman Hides Stolen Cash in Rectum

(Kingsport, Tennessee) A 43-year-old Hawkins County woman, Christie Black, has been accused of theft over $1,000 after doctors removed a large wad of cash from her rectum.

Around 1 a.m. Tuesday, the Hawkins County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to the home of Bobby Gulley, 249 North Ridge Road, Bulls Gap, on a complaint that his girlfriend was stealing from him.

Gulley told HCSO Sgt. Michael Allen he’d “set a trap” for Christie Black, 43, also of that address, by placing two envelopes containing $4,000 and $1,000 in $100 bills in an old medicine bag.[…]

When Gulley confronted Black with the theft, Black reportedly vomited up a baggy containing partially dissolved pills.

“He then asked her where the money was, and she admitted to him she’d wrapped it up and stuck it in her rectum,” Allen stated in his report. “Black admitted (to Allen) to taking the money and medication because Mr. Gulley was going to kick her out and she needed money for a place to live.”

Allen said Black attempted to remove the cash with a toilet brush and tongs but was unsuccessful.

The wad had to be removed at the hospital emergency room.
