Considering it inappropriate for a man to body search a female suspect, the officer requested the assistance of a policewoman, according to LPD officials.
During the pat-down, the policewoman said she noticed an odd shaped and textured object inside Wright’s clothing. In response, investigators said Wright started to physically resist, turning away from the policewoman and kneeing the other officer in the groin area.
A syringe and methamphetamines were later discovered on Wright’s person, LPD officials said.
Wright was charged to methamphetamine possession, police said.
Tennehill was charged with possession of a controlled substance.
