What you go there, Cupcake?  Cupcake Pinot Grigio?

 

 

A 48-year-old woman named Monique Megchiani was arrested last month for trespassing at a CVS in Michigan.

 

 

The cops cuffed her, patted her down for weapons, and told her to get into the squad car . . . but she paused.  She said she couldn’t get inside.

 

 

The cops said she didn’t have a choice . . . and so, she slowly and awkwardly maneuvered her way into the backseat.  The cops noted her struggling to move, so they had her checked out by a corrections officer at the jail.

 

 

Turns out Monique’s limited range of motion was because she had a full BOTTLE OF WINE inside her . . . uh, HOO-HA.  Not one of those mini-bottles, a 12-inch, two-and-a-half pound, typical bottle.

 

 

If you want a more accurate visual . . . (bless you) . . . the officers say she’d “concealed a bottle of Cupcake Vineyards Pinot Grigio inside her person.”

 

 

The cops say she’d swiped it from the CVS, and it did have a screw-top, so she wouldn’t have needed a wine-opener to get into it . . . if her plan wasn’t foiled.

 

 

On Wednesday, she pleaded guilty to a felony contraband count that carries a maximum five-year prison sentence.  In return, prosecutors have agreed to drop several other charges. She will be sentenced in August.
