one of them, shawn stark has run into an old friend here. the hackensack? the shooting. that was the gun? yeah. holy [ bleep ]. are you serious? how did it go down? because he owned the gun leonardes allegedly used to shoot at police. he s in hackensack? he s in the hospital with county police officers babysitting him and $2 million bail. that s [ bleep ] up. stark purchased the unregistered gun from another inmate being held at the jail, jerry nunez. the prosecutor came to my house. 15 detectives. they were like you sold the gun to a guy and he shot a [ bleep ] cop. nunez was originally arrested on drug possession charges.
those stark is not accused of being involved in the shooting he still faces a serious charge. simply due to the fact that he owned the gun used in the shooting. he has been charged with possession of a handgun while committing a crime. he says he will plead not guilty when he goes above the judge. hello. i have been trying to call your phone. if found guilty, stark can face up to 20 years in prison. for now he turns to his girlfriend for support. listen, okay. they hit me with possession of the firearm in shooting that officer, babe. you have to get me a lawyer. i m serious. you have to see what lawyer can come here and talk to me asap because i m going to lose my [ bleep ] mind and please promise me you ll be faithful to me. i do not deserve to be in prison.
move. stark was not arrested for any direct involvement in the shooting but he owned the alleged handgun. he says he s a good friend and had taken the weapon without him knowing it. he had came over my house and we were hanging out that night and he had this thought in his head that he wanted to kill himself. he said he would take his own life. i talked to him about this is not his last chance. there are things he can do to better his life. but that night he was over my house, he took my gun. basically how it got from my possession to his possession. i never thought that he would shoot at a police officer or even it s just. i have really no words. right here.
i work with their attorneys. you know, their public defenders to help assist to get them to court, to get them outside to wherever it is they need to go. this is a lot of information. like i said before, take your time. all right? don t look at it and go eh. okay? take your time. some is going to apply. some is not. let it fly. i appreciate that. thank you. good luck to you. the gun that got stark in trouble was sold to him by jerry nunez. because of that, nunez, like stark, though not directly involved in the shooting, has also been charged with possession of a handgun while committing a crime. but unlike stark, he has hired a private attorney to mount his defense. jerry is a good kid that is caught up in extremely bad situation. these charges can land jerry in jail for many years.
meanwhile, jerry nunez who says he sold the gun to stark for $500 is settling in his cell. crazy, right? just last night i was watching lockup on tv and now i m on lockup for real. i woke up to banging on the door. it turns out to be the detectives from the bergen county prosecutor s office and they wanted to speak with me. they had questions with a shooting of a cop. i mean, i didn t shoot the cop, but i sold the gun and that s why i m here. no towel, nothing. don t come to this hotel, guys. they don t got [ bleep ] ready for you. though nunez was investigated as to the gun, law enforcement authorities have yet to issue
