Who Guards the Guards: Prison Trusty Not so Trustworthy
Posted by FirearmsTruth on February 26, 2010 · Leave a Comment
The Baltimore Sun reported that a man was found guilty for stealing two handguns from a state police warehouse. First, we are shocked that it would be so easy for anyone to just “steal” two handguns from a police warehouse, but more upsetting is that Roderick L. Hayes was a prison trusty in a pre-release program!
Hayes was reportedly finishing a 17-year sentence for kidnapping, robbery and assault, and yet somehow had access to the Quartersmaster Warehouse, where he stole the guns. This is beyond unbelievable. As we’ve reported, law-abiding citizens are having their houses raided by the ATF, but a convicted criminal was able to steal two police guns?
The paper noted:
“One of the missing guns turned up after being used in a crime committed in Baltimore; the other weapon has not been recovered, police said.”
Not much more to say is there?
