Gun stolen by Police or Tow Company ???

[Davers]

I took a wife's young ( 20 y/o ) friend home from work on Tuesday , & she stated back in Oct her 21 y/o BF was pulled over for speeding 52 in a 45 by Cherokee Co .

They smelled weed ( as usual ) fishing IMO . & He had a Glock in a bag with 3 grams of weed & a MJ Vape in a backpack on the back seat and did not tell them he had a gun . Dumb I know . I 90% recall her saying he was charged with Speeding & Weed , no felony . & They towed the car even tho there were 3 legal drivers on scene and 1 mile from home .

Anyway she said the Gun has disappeared , & not on the report that she knew of , I asked about the tow inventory but she did not know .

I hope 'someone did not take this guys gun ' I don't trust some cops from experience but he could have lied to her about it but IDK .

I told her to check the paperwork & report it if it was stolen , & 52 in a 45 on Bells Ferry Rd , OK !!!

If guilty cool but I don't want to see a young person taken advantage of .

Anybody's guess but an unsecured weapon is easy pickings for a thief.
If stolen, hopefully it'll be a tough life lesson learned for the young man!

Yeah and just because someone is employed in law enforcement doesn’t mean they aren’t a criminal either !!
I have seen and met more dirty cops than I care to even count !! Unfortunately!

The weed and thc vape were inside the bag WITH the firearm?

Yea but it should have been secured by the cops or inventoried on the tow sheet IMO
I will try to get more info .

I’d get a copy of the police report before I took her word for everything. Weed in a bag and vape and speeding on Bells Ferry? No wonder the cop smelled weed. I’d double check the facts before I got real deep in this one. I would at least file a stolen gun report with Cherokee today.

You can find a copy of the police report here and case information:

Absolutely should have been if they handled it.
Perhaps body cam footage will show???
