PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — The man charged in a burglary that prompted a SWAT team into action last week faces new charges after a gun was found in his rectum, police said.
Brandon Delonte Braxton, 18, was being held in a Manassas jail in connection to a Feb. 27 burglary on Ladino Court in Woodbridge when jail officers found a small gun inside his rectum, police documents state. Investigators believe Braxton put the gun there prior to his arrest.
After searching the suspect, officers confiscated the weapon without incident, documents state.
Police said the gun is the same one reported missing after the burglary on Ladino Court.
