Trudy Kay Richardson was in the passenger seat of a Pontiac Grand Prix early Saturday evening when the vehicle was pulled over on a St. Petersburg, Florida street.

The 55-year-old Richardson, the patrolman noted, was observed holding a “blue glass marijuana pipe in her right hand.” Richardson, seen at right, would later tell the cop that the pipe was actually the property of her stepdaughter, who was apparently behind the wheel.

When Richardson spotted Officer Caricia Martinez standing next to the Pontiac, she “placed her hand with pipe into the front of her pants and proceeded to place the item inside of her vagina.” Richardson, Martinez added, “was repeatedly instructed to stop and yet continued.”

With regard to the pot pipe, Richardson subsequently said that she "put it in my pussy" at the request of her stepdaughter.

A remorseful Richardson "spontaneously stated" that she was “so sorry for not listening and putting the pipe in my pussy.” The pipe, Officer Martinez reported, smelled of marijuana and contained “burnt residue.”

A search turned up a second glass pipe in the car’s console and two plastic bags containing marijuana remnants.

Richardson, a nursing home employee, was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting an officer without violence, both misdemeanors. She was released from jail early yesterday morning after posting $300 bond.

Richardson’s stepdaughter does not appear to have been arrested.
