Seatte Area Man Convicted for Wife’s Gun

Luke T. Groves of Bremerton, Wash., will be headed to jail for first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm. Groves had turned down a plea deal that would have allowed him to avoid jail time reports Seattle PI. As we previously reported Groves had been previously convicted of breaking into a school in 1990. What is disturbing about this case is that it was actually Groves who had called the police for help. Seattle PI notes:

“Groves called police in late November 2008 after he returned home to find a broken window in his Hewitt Avenue house. He says he told officers that his wife owned a rifle and handgun.”

He now faces 31 to 41 months in prison. He will be sentenced January 29. We wish our best to the Groves family.
