JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) - Police in Missouri say a man accused of stealing a ring coughed up the evidence while officers were questioning him. Pictures of the two-carat diamond ring worth about $20,000 were sent to jewelers in the Joplin area after it was reported stolen when someone took the owner's purse from her car on Thursday.
The Joplin Globe reported that the owner of Newton's Jewelry recognized the ring when a man and woman came to his store a few hours after the theft and said they wanted to sell it. L.T. Newton and his staff stalled them and called police.
Police said the man swallowed the ring when officers arrived. While being questioned, he began to cough uncontrollably and eventually coughed up the ring.
PROPS to a guy for swallowing a ring worth 20k. Last night I couldnt swallow a mini hot dog without cutting it up. A 20K ring must be HUGE. God knows if i'm trying to hide that thing i'm putting it in m sock not swallowing it. The only FAIL this guy had is when he began to cough it up. Now if this is your ring and he coughs it up are you pumped or disgusted. The jeweler himself is pumped. Now we all know there is zero percent chance he tells the person he sells it to that it had previously been swallowed. So Ladies, one of you out there has a swallowed 20k ring on your fingers.
