This image provided by the Houston Police Department shows George Vera, 25, in a booking photo. Vera is charged with possession of a firearm in a correctional facility. The 500-pound man was searched during his arrest and again at a city jail and the county jail, but officers never found the weapon, a 9mm pistol, in his rolls of skin. Vera admitted having the gun during a shower break at the county jail. When he finally told his jailer about the unloaded weapon he was charged with felony possession.

The Houston Chronicle reported Thursday that Vera was originally arrested on charges of selling illegal copies of compact discs. So it goes.
