IPhone Up The Arse Foiled When It Started Ringing

Butt-dial con feels the pinch
What a butt head.

An ex-con was busted for stealing an iPhone when it started ringing — while stashed up his butt in a holding cell at the West Village station house, sources told The Post yesterday.

Trent Patterson, 47, had initially been arrested for allegedly burglarizing the trendy Ted Baker clothing boutique in the Meatpacking District at around 5:50 a.m. Friday, along with four other suspects, the sources said.

A food vendor had spotted the five allegedly going in and out of the shop with armfuls of clothing and accessories. The vendor called cops, and all five suspects were quickly nabbed.

Then, as Patterson was in a holding cell at the Sixth Precinct station house, a 27-year-old man whose iPhone had been swiped used an app to track the device, according to the sources.

The victim, who was at the station house to report the theft, called his phone — and heard the ring coming from Patterson in a nearby cell.

When an officer confronted Patterson, the career criminal admitted that he’d hidden the phone up his butt and retrieved it, the sources said.

Patterson was charged with criminal possession of stolen property for filching the iPhone 5 and burglary for the clothing heist. Patterson has served four stints in state prison dating back to 1991, mostly for robbery. He was being held in lieu of $50,000 bond after his arraignment yesterday in Manhattan Criminal Court.

Just keep it, pal!

I get the impression his cellmates helped... "prepare" him for this.

Ok so I looked it up lol... guess this isnt the first cell up a prisoners bum

this guy also had a hands free headset

and got busted for them both when the cell phone rang

Feb. 11, 2013 Cell phones have gotten smaller and smaller throughout the years, but not many are small enough for people to insert into their butt. Even so, size did not stop a prisoner at the Welikada jail in Colombo, Sri Lanka, from hiding a smuggled cell phone in his rectum.

How the convict managed to shove the phone and a hands-free headset into his body cavity was obvious (and probably painful), but how he got caught was the humorous part. Despite being crafty in his method of concealment, the prisoner neglected to use his ingenuity to turn off the phone before shoving it up his butt. Hence, when the phone started ringing, the guards quickly became suspicious. Needless to say, they knew that the prisoner’s butt was not capable of producing a catchy flatulent tune.

The convict was taken to a local hospital for an X-ray, and, lo-and-behold, an internal organ that looked very similar to that of a conventional cell phone popped up. There are no words as to how the phone was removed, but it’s safe to say that the next time the convict decides he wants to sneak in a cell phone he’ll turn it off (or at least put it on vibrate) before hiding it.
