Two people were arrested and charged with drug-related crimes in South Carolina after authorities discovered cocaine was hidden inside a fake pregnant belly allegedly worn by one of the suspects.

According to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday, its Special Investigation Division and Directed Patrol Unit were conducting "proactive patrol" along Interstate 85 last month when deputies pulled over Anthony Miller and Cemeka Mitchem.

The sheriff's office said deputies became suspicious when Miller and Mitchem gave conflicting information about Mitchem's alleged due date.

When Mitchem realized deputies were becoming more skeptical about her story, she attempted to make a run for it, which resulted in the drugs falling out of the rubber belly.
