Duo Arrested When Drugs Fall Out Of Suspect’s Fake Pregnant Belly

However, what truly stunned authorities and onlookers alike was the moment when a fake pregnancy belly worn by one of the alleged dealers unveiled its secret cargo - over 1,500 grams of cocaine.

A routine traffic stop in South Carolina escalated into a gripping saga as officers began to unravel a web of deceit.

It all started when law enforcement, growing suspicious of conflicting details surrounding an alleged pregnant woman's due date, decided to dig deeper.

"The first red flag began when the two gave conflicting information about her 'due date,'" the release from the office said.
 
Adding to the already tangled web of suspicions, it was revealed that the two individuals, Miller and Mitchem, provided conflicting details regarding their intended destination.

This discrepancy raised further red flags for law enforcement.

In a startling twist, deputies also discovered marijuana within their vehicle, adding another layer to the unfolding investigation.

These additional findings highlight the complexity of the case and suggest the potential involvement of the suspects in multiple illicit activities.

As tension mounted, Cemeka Mitchem, sensing the officers' skepticism, made a sudden dash for freedom.

"Mitchem immediately took off running and very quickly drugs fell from the fake rubber stomach," the release noted.

However, her attempt to flee was foiled when the fake rubber stomach she was wearing betrayed her, spilling its illicit contents—over 1,500 grams of cocaine.

"It's not every day we see something like that," Remien said.

The Anderson County Sheriff's Office found themselves face to face with a shocking revelation, exposing a clandestine operation that had concealed far more than they initially anticipated.

The wheels of justice swiftly turned as Anthony Miller and Cemeka Mitchem were apprehended and now face serious charges related to cocaine trafficking.

This incident sheds light on the ongoing battle against drug smuggling along Interstate 85, particularly in Anderson County, which has become a notorious hotspot for such illicit activities.

The frequency of recent busts serves as a stark reminder of the persistent challenges faced by law enforcement in combating the flow of drugs through this route.

As authorities remain vigilant, determined to disrupt these criminal operations, the fight against drug trafficking continues to unfold on the highways of Anderson County.

Just a few months ago, authorities apprehended an individual accused of trafficking over 400 grams of cocaine, marking one of many incidents that have raised concerns.

In March, an unprecedented seizure took place when a staggering 108 pounds of cocaine was confiscated, setting a new record.

The momentum continued as Anderson County deputies intercepted another duo on Interstate 85, confiscating over 48 pounds of drugs during a recent traffic stop.
