A Georgia man was pulled over in North Carolina this week. After his arrest he was found with a large gun in his cell.

How it got there is a different story. Law enforcement believes he smuggled the gun into the cell in his rectum.

He is identified as Michael Leon Ward, 22, of Canton Georgia. He was in Onslow NC jail after his arrest Monday morning. He is waiting to be extradited to Georgia due to warrants for a murder investigation.

After being booked in and strip searched, the man was put into a cell. He was even instructed to perform a 'squat and cough' procedure. Only later did they find the .38 caliber revolver that  miraculously manifested out of 'Thin Air'. While the gun was not loaded, it fired just fine in a test fire.

Reports state that Ward was being taken back to the hospital on Friday for injuries that may have happened to his rectum during the event.
