A 27-year-old man from Washington state found himself in a rather unfortunate situation involving a firearm, drugs, and a trip to the hospital. Cameron Jeffrey Wilson, a 13-time convicted felon, accidentally shot himself in the testicles while attempting to conceal drugs in his rectum, according to reports.
The incident occurred on April 5th in Wilson’s Cashmere, Washington, apartment. Wilson was reportedly carrying a handgun in his front pocket when it accidentally discharged. The bullet traveled through his testicles and into his thigh, as reported by the Wenatchee World News.
Following the accidental shooting, Wilson allegedly instructed his girlfriend to dispose of the weapon before he sought medical attention at a local hospital. Upon arrival at the hospital, a balloon of marijuana reportedly fell out of his anus while doctors were attending to his gunshot wound. This discovery led to law enforcement involvement.
Officers arrived at the hospital after being alerted to the gunshot wound. A search of Wilson’s car revealed a bag of meth hidden in the bloodstained jeans he was wearing at the time of the incident. This discovery prompted police to obtain an arrest warrant for Wilson. He surrendered to authorities on April 18th.
During processing at the Chelan County Regional Justice Center, another balloon of marijuana reportedly slipped from his anus during a strip search. While incarcerated, Wilson allegedly made several calls to his girlfriend, urging her not to cooperate with investigators. These calls were monitored by authorities.
Wilson faces charges of possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of meth, possession of a controlled substance in a correctional facility, and four counts of tampering with a witness. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and was held on $110,000 bail. He was scheduled to return to court on June 18.
This case highlights a series of unfortunate decisions and serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of illegal activities. The combination of firearms, drugs, and attempts to conceal evidence resulted in serious injury and multiple felony charges for Wilson.
