Everyone celebrates Mother's Day a little bit differently depending on their situation in life -- maybe it's a treat for a dog mom, a card for a motherly neighbor or dinner out for an adopted grandma.

But this? This was Mother's Day news that no one saw coming. Police in Anderson County, South Carolina, say they stopped a woman who was transporting 1,500 grams of cocaine in a fake pregnancy belly. They announced the news in a Facebook post Sunday, although records show the arrest happened April 12.


Luckily for law enforcement, officers who stopped a pair -- Anthony Miller and Cemeka Mitchem -- took the time to inquire about her due date. They got suspicious when the two gave conflicting information.

Officers said the suspects obviously knew the stop wasn't going well for them and with deputies becoming suspicious, Mitchem 'immediately took off running and very quickly drugs fell from the fake rubber stomach.'

Deputies said they collected more than 1500 grams of cocaine from the traffic stop. With internet sourcing saying one gram is worth up to $100, that's about $150,000 worth of drugs.

Miller and Mitchem face trafficking cocaine charges.
