According to reports, deputies suspected something was off when the couple gave conflicting information about the bundle of joy’s due date.

The sheriff’s office said the two had taped a “large amount” of drugs behind the fake belly.
The two were arrested and are facing charges of trafficking cocaine, the sheriff’s office said.
The names of the suspects were not provided.
