Woman Fails at Smuggling Money Into Dominican Republic Via Her Stomach

Where the cash at? In her stomach.

Authorities in the Dominican Republic reportedly arrested a woman they caught with $69,000 in a suitcase and another $70,000 inside of her stomach. 

According to the Associated Press, the unidentified 40-year-old woman was arrested at the Punta Canta airport on Friday after flying in from Brussels. A spokesperson for the National Drug Control Agency told the Associated Press that the money, which is most likely associated with drug trafficking, was split up into 16 capsules. 

Unsurprisingly, local authorities told the Associated Press that this marks the first time they've caught someone using their own stomach to smuggle cash.
