In Missouri, police were interrogating two suspects accused of stealing a two-carat diamond ring with a hefty price tag of over $20,000 when one of the suspects literally began to cough up the evidence they needed for a solid conviction. Police were led to the suspects when they got a tip from another jewelry store where the man and woman tried to sell off their newly acquired booty after the heist. Unfortunately at the time, all police had to go on was a single eye witness account after the fact and didn’t have enough evidence for a conviction, but then their luck changed. While under going interrogation, a painful coughing fit sized the 23-year-old male suspect, causing him to spit out the stolen ring right in front of their eyes. The couple have been charged with receiving stolen property and the ring has been returned to its rightful owner.
