Cops find bags of heroin in pregnant woman's pants

[March 06, 2009]  DUNLEITH, Del. (AP) -- Police arrested a 31-year-old pregnant woman who had 73 bags of heroin stashed in the waistband of her pants.

Police said the woman was a passenger in a car stopped by officers on Wednesday because they believed it had illegal window tint.

In the car, police said officers found six bags of heroin and a loaded gun and a stun gun in the trunk. When officers took her to police headquarters, they found 73 bags of heroin in her waistband.

The driver, a 27-year-old man, was charged with drug and weapons offenses.

Both are being held on bail.
