We hear of people arrested for having a gun in there bag, car, holster or hiding it in a corner. But getting arrested for ‘carrying’ a gun on your forehead is really weird. Was that what happened in this case? Find out.
A man in South Carolina who was barred from possessing firearms because of his criminal record was arrested last weekend and charged with weapons possession.
After 24-year-old Michael Vines slammed a Toyota Camry into a power pole on Saturday night, firefighters saw him toss a handgun into the grass, Greenville police reported, according to The Smoking Gun.
Authorities charged Vines with driving under a suspended license, driving too fast for conditions and unlawful carrying of a firearm, according to WYFF-TV.
The handgun police accused Vines of carrying was a fully loaded Smith & Wesson .38-caliber revolver. Vines is prohibited from owning a gun because of a rap sheet that includes multiple narcotics convictions.
Vines isn’t shy about his fondness for guns. He has a tattoo of a handgun prominently displayed on his forehead.
Greenville police made a subtle reference to Vines’ display of ink in a Facebook post, noting that “the real weapon was placed in property and evidence.”
So vines was actually carrying a real gun but the one on his forehead was a weird way to express his fondness for guns
