The drug trade isn't run by choir boys and Girl Scouts, the prosecutor told the jury in closing arguments in Courtney Savage's meth case.
Savage stood accused of possessing a dealer amount of methamphetamine, not in itself a particularly rare charge.
But what made his case stand out was where the 9.1 grams of meth was found: inside the vagina of a woman with whom he'd been driving around town early Feb. 17.
When he was arrested, police say, Savage denied knowing about the drugs or being involved in dealing and asked "how he could be charged for meth found inside of someone else."
In closing arguments Thursday, Deputy Lancaster County Attorney Carolyn Bosn laid out the state's case, which included testimony from two people who had been in a car with the Omaha man that night.
They both told police, separately, that Savage had pulled a bag of meth from his groin area when he saw the cops, tossed it to Christine Tannehill in the backseat and told her, in no uncertain terms, to put the bag inside her.
After deliberating for about 3½ hours, the jury found Savage guilty.
Tannehill pleaded no contest to possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine and is participating in drug court.
