A Cleveland woman is in the custody of the Chillicothe Police Department after smuggling a .25 calibur pistol into the Ross County Jail.
Victoria Lundy, 41, is facing a long list of charges, including driving under suspension, improperly discharging a weapon, illegal conveyance of a weapon and carrying a concealed weapon.
According to reports, police officers were answering a call of possible shots fired on Warner Avenue Sunday evening, when Lundy and two passengers were questioned.
All three denied knowing anything of the possible shooting and Lundy was arrested for driving under suspension.
After being transferred to the Ross County Jail, officers found Lundy still had a gun on her after it went off in the holding cell.
Another woman in the cell said Lundy used the bathroom several times, and when Lundy sat on the bench, the gun went off.
No one was injured.
While checking the gun, Officer Jonathan Robinson observed "it had off white-colored liquid substance on the gun with red specks. It appeared to be consistent with vaginal fluid."
Lundy eventually admitted to the shooting on Warner Avenue, saying she got into an argument and shot the gun twice in the air.
She was later transferred to Adena Regional Medical Center to receive treatment for pills she swallowed while trying to hide them from the police.
A court date will be set when she is released.
