Suspected bomb was anal vibrator

An anal vibrator believed to be a bomb caused the California Highway Patrol to briefly evacuate its South Lake Tahoe area office on April 7. The incident began at about 4:30 a.m. when a California Highway Patrol officer contacted Steven Ferrini, 60, in a “No Parking” zone on Highway 89 near Luther Pass, according to a CHP report.

The officer arrested the man after allegedly finding what was believed to be methamphetamine. During a subsequent search, officers found “a suspicious wire, with an on/off switch” in the man's front left pocket leading to his anal cavity.



Officers planned to have the device removed by medical personnel at Barton Memorial Hospital, but during an interview with the man at the CHP office, “the subject began to explain his knowledge of explosives and bomb-making.” The man's statements caused officers to become suspicious. They contacted the El Dorado County Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team and evacuated the office at around 5:45 a.m.

At about 9 a.m., “the EOD team rendered the device safe and determined it was not an explosive device. The vibrator was subsequently removed and placed into property.” The man was booked into El Dorado County Jail in South Lake Tahoe on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance.

Here is where honesty and self esteem collide. Perhaps he picked up on the power exchange when they thought he might detonate ...and then milked the idea by professing how easy butt bombs are to make? Either you admit you are a 60 year old man and have an ADULT toy in your bum or deny you ever took a chemistry class.  But I suppose you might not be thinking clearly if you are under the influence of something so dangerous as a 'controlled substance'.
