Charnesia Corley, 21, of Spring, alleges deputies violated her Fourth Amendment protections by conducting a vaginal probe in public without a warrant. In her official complaint, Corley describes the encounter that transpired after she was stopped for a traffic violation around 10:30 p.m. on June 20. "The black female officer sat on top of me while the white female officer helped to force my legs apart and stick her fingers in me," the complaint said. "I felt humiliated. I told the black female officer that I felt embarrassed. She replied to me you should be. I also told her that they could not do this to me. She said I can do what I want, this is a narcotics search." Deputies were searching for marijuana. According to KTRK TV, .02 ounces of marijuana, or one half gram, was recovered. They did not say from where. Contacted Thursday, a sheriff 's office spokesman said an internal investigation and civil litigation are ongoing, so he could not comment. "We anticipate that the office of Inspector General will share their findings with Sheriff Ron Hickman in accordance with state law and civil service procedures in the near future," the spokesman said. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
