UGA’S Crowell busted on felony gun charges, likely done as a Dawg

http://www.mrsec.com/2012/06/ugas-crowell-busted-on-felony-gun-charges-likely-done-as-a-dawg/

In college sports there are arrests. Then there are arrests. Alcohol-related issues, driving on without a license, even beating up a fellow student… all are survivable.

Being arrested and charged with two felony weapons charges (as well as a third non-felony) at 3:37 in the morning? Uh, no. That’s not survivable. At least according to what one person in the University of Georgia administration told MrSEC.com in the 10 o’clock hour. And that’s bad news for Isaiah Crowell.

The oft-troubled — and oft-rumored-to-be-even-more-troubled — former top tailback prospect in the country will be immediately suspended thanks to UGA’s strict student-athlete handbook/code of conduct. But from what we’ve been told, this is the straw that will definitely break the camel’s back.

Here’s the skinny from Chip Towers of The AJC on the arrest:
“According to Athens-Clarke police spokesperson Hilda Sorrow, Crowell was arrested as the result of a “vehicle check-point stop” — a road block — on East Campus Road at Green Street at 2:20 a.m. Friday. Officer Kristin Thornton reported smelling the odor of marijuana in Crowell’s 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. Crowell gave consent to search the vehicle, himself and four other unnamed occupants. No marijuana was discovered but a 9-mm Luger handgun with an altered serial number was found under the driver’s seat. Crowell was immediately arrested and taken to jail and the car was impounded.

You don't alter the serial # on a Luger.

Also known as:
9mm parabellum
9x19mm
9mm

The article could actually be referencing the Luger pistol, but that does not seem as likely.

Ammo does NOT have a serial #.
It was the weapon defaced, period.

Your post #2 seemed to suggest that you thought that pistol was an actual Luger, and my response was that they article's author probably did not mean that.

Yes, obviously it was the pistol, not the ammo, with the removed serial number.

It shoots 9mm LUGER* 115g loads. Everyone calls it a Luger, much better weapon. Light and cheap to shoot.
* their caps

Sure, take care.

We're down to one Google dump from you every 6 weeks now from you.

Cut, paste, avoid comment and include stories where nothing actually happened, but ... the word gun was in the story somewhere.

I guess you're still not having much luck getting CCW repealed in Maine or Florida huh?

But it's almost July and I thought by now you'd be sharing lists with us of all those candidates you promised us that would be running on more gun control this year. Maybe I missed that post.

Trying to jump start that "backlash" can be a real PITA some days I guess.
