Cops: 500 Pound Inmate Hid Handgun in His Fat



HOUSTON (KHOU) -- Houston police and the Harris County Sheriff's Office are investigating how a man managed to sneak a handgun into two lockups.
Authorities say that George Vera, who weighs more than 500 pounds, hid a 9 millimeter beneath the folds of his skin.
Vera was reportedly searched at least five times at both the Houston and Harris County jail and the gun was never found. He himself told authorities he had a weapon.
Vera was originally arrested for selling bootleg CDs.
He's now charged with gun possession and is out on $10,000 bond
