The Least of His Problems

Cameron Jeffrey Wilson, 27, of East Wenatchee, Wash., jammed a gun into his front pocket. It discharged, shooting him exactly where you are thinking. That was just the start of Wilson’s problems. First, as a 13-time convicted felon, he’s not allowed to possess a firearm; he dropped the gun off with a friend while his girlfriend drove him to the hospital. As surgeons were working to repair Wilson’s manhood, they noticed that a bag slipped out of his butt. It was a bag of marijuana, investigators say; a search of his car found alleged meth, leading to drug charges. Once out of the hospital, Wilson was jailed, and investigators notified jailers of his drug hiding place. Wilson was strip searched, and another bag of drugs was found, leading to charges of possession of a controlled substance in a correctional facility. Wilson also made several phone calls from jail: recordings captured Wilson telling his girlfriend not to cooperate with investigators, leading to charges of tampering with a witness. The charges have been bundled into three different trials, so Wilson has a lot of court time ahead of him. He has pleaded not guilty on all counts.
