NJ Charges Out-of-State LEO With Felony for Having His Legal Gun With Him
Doea any one have further details on this or why he would not be covered under LEOSA?A Pennsylvania corrections officer holding the rank of sergeant has been arrested and charged with a felony by New Jersey for having his legal gun with him.
Sgt. Ray Hughes had taken his wife to dinner in Atlantic City. He was driving home when he and his wife were hit by a drunk driver.
When police responded, they noticed his ‘Fraternal Order of Police’ decal and law enforcement credentials. Hughes explained that he had his weapon with him, and police officers assured him that they’d secure it and he could pick it up later at the station.
It wasn’t until a few days had passed that Sgt. Hughes received a phone call explaining that he was being charged with a felony punishable by 3-10 years in prison.
The arresting officer explained to Hughes that he was adamantly against arresting him, but the decision came from above his level of authority.
I mean, besides the obvious that it is New Jersey ?
