Hair weave killa’. A Raleigh, North Carolina woman who was arrested during a nightclub raid will now face additional charges for hiding a .38-caliber gun in her hair weave. Deputies were booking Tiffanie Lizette Bass at the Wake County Detention Center when they discovered the gun.
Sheriff Donnie Harrison, who oversees the jail, said deputies noticed the 32 year old walking out of a bathroom with her head leaning to one side. It is unclear why the handgun wasn’t discovered before Bass arrived at the jail. Laura Hourigan, spokeswoman for the Raleigh Police Department, said the department is looking at whether proper procedures were followed when Bass was arrested and whether its policy on searches needs to be evaluated.
Bass, who was apprehended on an outstanding arrest warrant for a worthless check violation, was also charged with possession of a stolen firearm. She is also being charged with resisting a police officer. She remains in jail under a $65,000 bond.
