A Texas woman identified as Ashley Cecilia Castaneda, who hid a fully loaded pistol inside her v*gina during a 2015 arrest on drug charges, has been handed probation, Dailymail reports.
She was stopped by police in September 2015 for a traffic violation, but when cops searched the car, they found 2.7 grams of methamphetamine under the driver's seat.
The 33-year-old was being escorted into a Waco jail when police say she confessed she was smuggling the concealed weapon.
According to police, a cavity search recovered a .22 caliber semi-automatic Smith and Wesson pistol. They also recovered drugs in her bra and purse, as well as a set of digital weighing scales.

Castaneda has now been sentenced to 10 years on deferred probation after pleading guilty to methamphetamine possession The 33-year-old Waco woman also was fined $2,500.
Her attorney denied the story as impossible in court, and argued that much-reported claim had caused his client more 'emotional pain' than the felony charges against her ever could.
'The ridiculous narrative circulated, first by police, and then by the media, that Ms. Castaneda somehow concealed a gun inside her vagina is and has always been completely false,' Sutton said. 'It's not possible.'
