Police: Man hid stolen diamonds in anus

ALBUQUERQUE — A man is facing charges after police said he tried to hide nearly four dozen stolen diamonds in his anus.

A criminal complained filed in Albuquerque’s Metropolitan Court says an officer cracked the case after seeing Eusebio Padilla remove “a baggy” from his rear end during a traffic stop Sunday.

Court documents said Officer Daniel DeGraff found 44 small diamonds in the baggy and Padilla admitted precious stones were likely stolen.
