If you steal from the Kokomo Gunshow...

[Joe Williams]

Don't LEOs get baton training any more? A couple officers with batons could have settled him down quicker than that.

And lay out half a dozen people around them accidentally. Now, THAT would make some interesting headlines LOL.

yah but then we'd have another police brutality thread to read!

i was there about 11am and heading out the door when danny announced that they had another gun come up missin , as he was doing that , another gentleman called him over to his table and showed him he had an empty box as well ...crazy ass people

Ah come on, we gun guys would happily endure one or two accidental nightsticks to get to watch this guy get the holy crap beat out of him

 

[Knife Lady]

Good AAR Is this the same 6-4 dude who sets up at the 1500. From Martinsville?

Yes same guy. Also they are waiting to get a warrant to search his vehicle for more stolen items since he made several trips in and out of the show.
I am so glad he was caught too many times at Kokomo guns have been stolen.

 

[1LuvGuns]

I was there too, watching from an aisle away. The LEO's kept telling him to stop resisting, he wouldn't, so they did what they had to do to cuff him! Once he was cuffed, there was a big round of applause from the crowd for their hard work... Job well done!!

 

[Hiram2005]

Me and my two buddies left way too soon. Good job HC and Kokomo PD!

 

[DownByTheTracks]

Turns out that he was from Kokomo, he was just carrying 2 New Jersey IDs. He had his Freightliner semi behind the building, they were just starting to empty the cab when we left at 5. Looks like they got their warrant!

Danny mentioned that he's seen the guy at several other gun shows, it'll be interesting to see what's in the back of the truck.

+1 for the spectacular ass whoopin' today! I had a front row view!!

 

[junglerogue]

Expat, you've got the funniest avatar! On a side note, "stoping resisting" was explained to me as a CYA statement that one would use during the heat of battle. It seemed to have worked as intended, because everyone present clearly remembers the officer giving the order. So when the scum's defense lawyer asks why there was excessive force used, the officer can say that he gave clear repeated verbal commands for the scum...er, suspect to stop resisting, but the suspect failed to and appropriate measured response was exacted. Really though...why why why would you steal from a gun store/show??? It's got to be a death wish!

 

[DarkRose]

I would think that stealing from a place where you KNOW everyone is armed is possibly the stupidest thing ever. I'm surprised the police even had to be called!

But good job capturing the guy!

the police were called so that no more damage occured to the BG in question, lol. They weren't called to arrest him, but to protect him!

True story.

 

[Mgderf]

I'm just guessing, he's not a Mensa candidate

 

[Hiram2005]

If the moron had not been greedy, I wonder how much stuff he would have got away with? I know by the time I left it was up to 2 handguns gone.

 

[Gamez235]

I knew I stayed home for a reason...

 

[nalees]

so do the dealers at the kokomo show not lock up their guns like the Indy 1500? i'm pretty sure at the 1500 most dealers have wire ran through the trigger guards, etc... ?

 

[rmabrey]

I wonder how many guns were stolen while everyone was watching the action

 

[beararms1776]

F*** with the bull, you get the horns.

 

[Unit308]

I know of at least one Department that frowns upon the use of batons by their officers. It is a "liability" thing, the Brass said.
The use of TASERs to subdue this thief was warranted, I would say.
And if he bonds out? Don't look for him to make his date in Court.

 

[millfire517]

I must have missed the action, when I got there I saw about 5 squad cars out front and one out back. Damn always seem to be a few minutes late to the parties.

Most promoters require a tie down or cable system to secure the firearms...however this promoter only requires the zip tie through the chamber, around the trigger/hammmer...ect.
