Re: Denied Illinois FOID card

More | Report Post

Man they want your gun that’s all, so they can make some money off them; this stuff goes on all over the country.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Mike Fisher today announced that a Westmoreland County Deputy Sheriff has been charged with theft for allegedly
stealing seized weapons from an evidence locker and selling the guns to an area gun dealer.

Fisher said agents of his Bureau of Criminal Investigation have filed criminal charges against Luigi "Gino" Ferrari, 40, of 1xx7 Saybrook Dr.,
Greensburg. Ferrari is a Westmoreland County Deputy Sheriff and holds the rank of sergeant.

The charges allege that Ferrari, who was in charge of the evidence locker in the Westmoreland County Sheriff's office, falsified documents and
stole 15 unclaimed weapons from the locker. He allegedly gave some of the weapons away and sold others on consignment to a local gun dealer. The
charges allege Ferrari stole one gun.

The charges allege that several of the weapons that Ferrari stole were obtained from individuals who were served with protection from abuse
orders (PFA). Fisher explained that when the Sheriff's office served a PFA order they would seize or confiscate weapons or guns from the
individual. The weapons were logged in the Sheriff's office and kept in the evidence locker. Upon the expiration of the PFA order, a notice was
sent to the individual to claim their weapon within 30 days. If a gun remained unclaimed, a court order to destroy the weapon was to be
obtained. The Sheriff's office was supposed to take the weapons to a foundry to be melted.
