Police looking for officer’s missing rifle

By Lucas Sullivan | Monday, February 15, 2010, 11:08 AM

DAYTON - Dayton police are looking for an officer-issued rifle missing that might have fallen off the roof of an officer’s car Sunday, Feb. 14, police said.

Officers were called to the 2700 block of Wayne Avenue about 11:20 p.m. Sunday to investigate the missing rifle after the officer coming on duty at 4 p.m. noticed it was missing, the report stated.

The officer missing the gun was not named in the report and Major Mark Hess declined to release his name this morning.

“The officer recalled placing it on the roof of his cruiser as he inspected and prepared his cruiser/equipment for his tour of duty,” Hess said. “We are looking into whether he drove off with it still on the roof or if it was taken from atop the roof.”

If any wrongdoing is found, the officer will be disciplined, Hess said.

The gun is described as a Rock Rivers A15 .223 caliber rifle, the report stated. It is valued at about $800, Hess said. The gun’s serial number has been entered into a nationwide crime database, Hess said.

If anyone knows the gun’s whereabouts, you are urged to call 333-COPS.

Catchy number, easy to remember

If anyone know the whereabouts I urge you to let me know because I want it.

If you find it make sure you don't touch it, wouldn't want to be arrested for possessing stolen police equipment

I wonder if the first thing the guy said was- "awwww shit!"

That isn't a lie. Wasn't there a soldier that found a gun and took it to the police station to turn it in and got charged?

Too funny that this may happen, we will have to watch and see if it happens.

I was specifically recalling the recent dude sentenced to 3 years or some shit in UK... but yes, I'm sure there have been plenty of cases in the US where folks turn in stolen property and get charged for having it.

Sounds about right for our society. Only the good people get in trouble for doing the right thing. We were talking today at work about what if you had to use your gun to defend yourself or someone else, sure, you're alive, but you're going to jail. Guess you should die instead.

GIB!!!
