He’s in hot water.
A Florida man booked for alleged drug possession was also carrying much larger contraband — a thermos that he apparently shoved up his rectum before he was captured, authorities said.
Walter Frymire, 51, was arrested for the 26th time Saturday evening after someone called in reports of a naked man in a restroom at a public park.
At the scene, authorities found Frymire — but he was clothed.
He was initially released, since he wasn’t in any technical violation, but he then wandered across the street and allegedly trespassed on nearby train tracks, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
The responding deputy frisked Frymire and found a “glass pipe with a burned residue consistent with methamphetamine.”
Frymire also admitted to being a meth user for 28 years, according to a police affidavit obtained by The Smoking Gun.
Figuring that was all the items on his person, Frymire was charged with trespassing and possession of methamphetamine. He was transported to the local county jail without an issue — until he walked through the body scanner.
Judd, who sees just about everything as Sunshine State sheriff, was flabbergasted.
“I’ve talked about meth doing crazy stuff to you, right? Y’ain’t gonna believe this,” he said.
An X-ray of Frymire clearly depicted a foreign object lodged in his body and poking from his hip up to his rib.
The foreign object was a thermos that Frymire said he “didn’t swallow.”
“You might have thought Walter was bringing drugs into the jail. He brought a thermos into the jail. That’s right, he put it up the exit ramp, you know what I mean?” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said before holding up a thermos he estimated was the same size as the one inside Frymire.
Frymire was taken to a specialist who surgically removed the thermos before he was finally put behind bars.
“The deputy saved his life. And that was after Walter threatened to kill the deputy for arresting him,” Judd said.
It’s unclear if anything was inside the thermos, but he didn’t face any additional charges for the internal contraband.
“Told you you weren’t gonna believe it. Never seen it before. Have another drink of coffee,” Judd said as he signed off on a TikTok-style presser.
Over the years, Judd has become something of a microcelebrity for his creative conveyances of crime in Polk County, often aided by over-the-top graphics and props.
In late August, he wore a gold chain belonging to an alleged drug dealer his office arrested and boasted about getting the perp’s “drip.”
One wanted Florida man dared the sheriff and his deputies to catch him. Judd joked that the suspect “done messed up” — before capturing him just a few days later.
