Riley Sage Weiss, 23, of Wichita Falls, also stuffed keys, a small cross and money in her mouth while she was being questioned by a police officer, KDFX reported.

Weiss was arrested Wednesday and charged with the felony charge of fraudulent use of identifying information, tampering with or fabricating evidence and possession of a controlled substance, according to Wichita County online booking records. Bail was set at $65,001, online records show.

According to the Wichita Falls Police Department, an officer was investigating an unoccupied car parked parallel to the entrance to a convenience store, the television station reported.

The officer asked Weiss if that was her vehicle and she denied it, but while being questioned Weiss pushed a key fob in her hand and the lights of the car flashed, KDFX reported.

When the officer decided to question Weiss further, she allegedly put the keys in her mouth, according to the television station. The officer grabbed the side of the woman’s mouth to prevent her from swallowing anything.

Weiss then gave the officer permission to search the vehicle, and he found a wallet with a man’s identification and a debit card, along with a Social Security card for a different person, KDFX reported.

The officer found another wallet in the front passenger seat and six debit cards for another woman, the television station reported.

Weiss has been arrested 19 times in Wichita County since 2015, according to online records. The arrests include seven drug-related charges, five assaults, one count of aggravated robbery, one burglary, one theft and one charge of evading arrest, online records show.

In February 2021, Weiss was arrested on an outstanding warrant for drug possession after a woman reported she had stolen a car and was causing a disturbance in an apartment, KDFX reported at the time.

When Weiss was searched at the jail, officers found a burnt glass pipe concealed in her anal cavity, the television station reported.

In 2018, Wichita Falls Police said Weiss led them on a chase at speeds of 100 mph in a stolen vehicle, the Times-Record reported.
