A Washington, D.C., resident is going to trial for possessing a single, misfired shotgun shell in his home.
Mark Witaschek is a hunter and a gun owner, but he lives in Washington – which has draconian gun laws – so he keeps his firearms at his sister’s home in Virginia. The single misfired shell is a keepsake from a memorable hunting trip, but it could cost him $1,000 and one year in jail.
Blame his angry ex-wife, who tipped off the police about Witaschek. They told the Metropolitan Police Department he had guns in his home – a felony. After two separate raids in Summer 2012, they only came up with ammunition, which is also a felony.

Search without a warrant. No obvious evidence to even have a warrant. His wife is the one that should be charged with giving a false statement.
ReplyDeleteI call BS on this one. My FIL legally owns a pistol in DC. Maybe this dude is a convicted felon or under a peace order?
