Polk County Deputies Arrest Man Who Hid Gun Under Prosthetic Breasts at Construction Site

Sheriff Grady Judd highlighted the officer-safety risk, with court proceedings still pending.

Overview

  • Deputies encountered 39-year-old Matthew Zaccarino around 1:19 a.m. on Dec. 14 at a Polk County construction site posted with no‑trespassing signs.
  • According to the affidavit, he was putting on a red lace bra, a G-string and silicone breast prostheses beside his vehicle.
  • Deputies say he ignored commands, removed the items and reached into the vehicle before being handcuffed.
  • A loaded H&K 9mm was found under the discarded bra and silicone inserts on the passenger-side floorboard, the report states.
