?Don?t try this at home ? or in jail. An inmate at the Merced County Main Jail had a homemade knife surgically removed from his body cavity last month, according to Merced county Sheriff?s officials. He now faces concealed weapons charges. The inmate, 19-year-old Rance Johnson, approached corrections officials Nov. 18, complaining about an item stuck inside his rectum, causing pain, according to Deputy Tom MacKenzie. Even worse, Johnson told deputies the improvised weapon ? known in jailhouse slang as a ?shank? ? had been inside his body for three weeks. He was taken to an emergency room in Modesto, and the 5-inch-long plastic shank was surgically removed.? w/ photo
