The two women are Angela and Ashley Dobbs. They were pulled over for throwing cigarette butts out of their car window during a trip to Oklahoma last year. [Texas] State Trooper David Farrell claimed he smelled marijuana in the car and decided to do a search. He found nothing.
Despite finding nothing, Farrell decided the women needed to be searched as well, and he called female Trooper Kelly Helleson to do the search. Here is where the problems began.
Rather than sticking to a standard pat down search, Helleson searched, quite literally, every cavity of the womens bodies. She put on a pair of latex gloves and used her fingers to search the anuses and vaginas of both women. Helleson even used the same pair of gloves for both women.
Hellesons searches turned up nothing, but the women were not about to forget what was done to them. They contacted attorney Scott Palmer and filed a lawsuit. The women won their lawsuit and were awarded $185,000.
