An off-duty police officer’s gun was stolen after he left it behind in a mall bathroom, Memphis, Tenn. TV station WREG reported Thursday.
Memphis police reported that one of their officers had his gun stolen from him around 8 p.m. Monday night, according to WREG. At the time, the news station reported that the gun had been stolen out of the officer’s car while he worked a secondary job as a security officer at the Oak Court Mall.
WREG is now reporting that the gun was actually stolen after the officer, Lester Hobbs, left his gun on the towel holder in a men’s restroom while working security in the mall.
Security cameras in the part of the mall where the gun went missing weren’t working at the time and police still don’t have a suspect, according to the news station.
How is it that the gun is “stolen” if the cop forgot it in a bathroom? Do we automatically become thieves as soon as we find something?
BS. He probably shot someone and then the gun was “stolen”. Very convenient that the “security” cams were broken. And, this guy is part of “security”?
There’s a reason Andy made Barney keep his bullet in his shirt pocket.
That must’ve been a very large bathroom for him to have had his gun stolen out of his car in there.
Not to mention:
Lester Hobbs. A cop-name straight out of redneck central casting.

He was too busy polishing his gun to worry about the whereabouts of his pistol.
