What began as a routine traffic stop led to an apartment search and the arrests of four men on various weapon charges, including possessing parts and tools commonly used to make “ghost guns” firearms often used in street crimes that are not serialized or registered as required by law, Davis police reported.
The investigation began late Monday afternoon, when officers stopped 20-year-old Demori Fobbs of Davis in the 500 block of L Street for multiple vehicle-code violations, police said in a news release. Fobbs is on felony probation out of Sacramento County, which led to a search of his car.
Inside, “officers located ammunition, a partially completed AR-15 rifle lower receiver and tools that could be used to complete the receiver and make a functional rifle,” police said, also noting that Fobbs’ probation status prohibits him from having any weapons.
GARY â City officials said Tuesday they re renewing a push to require some businesses to hire armed guards as Lake County prosecutors seek to waive two teenage boys to adult court on allegations they shot and killed a retired firefighter during a robbery attempt.
Wallace Wally Broadnax, 70, a retired Gary firefighter and member of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, was remembered as someone who was always willing to help children.
That s why it hurt so much to learn a 14-year-old boy and 15-year-old boy are accused of attempting to rob Broadnax and shooting him to death early June 26 in the parking lot of the Clark gas station at West 23rd Avenue and Grant Street in Gary, family members said.
