A diamond worth $25,000 was found stuck in a shower drain at a California prison. A prisoner there is suspected of stealing the two carat colorless diamond two years ago.
Bret Allen Langford, 39, is accused of asking the owner of a jewelry store to show him the diamond in April 2005 and then sped away. Police arrested Langford, but never found the diamond.
An investigator representing Langford told jail officials to search the jail's drains if they wanted to find the stone. Langford told police he stole the diamond and swallowed it and kept regurgitating it every time he was transferred.
Police say the diamond will be cleaned and returned to the jewelry store.
