A former property officer for the Queensland Police Service has been sentenced to two years in prison — but will be released immediately on parole — for stealing seized guns and ammunition, which were only discovered after he accidentally shot himself in the hand.
Everett, 34, pleaded guilty to one count of stealing a quantity of firearms and ammunition as a public service employee. Crown prosecutor Ron Swanwick said after retrieving a camouflaged Glock from a ceiling cavity to carry out checks on the weapon, he did not realise it was loaded and shot himself in the hand.
After administering first aid to himself, he called triple-0. Police later searched his home and unearthed 42 items stashed in the roof cavity.
And we're told that only the police should be allowed guns, and that we should place our total trust in them.
Seems only fair.
PNSlipper . Do-it-yourself Sharia law.
So He shoots himself in the Hand, Than it is Noticed that the 'property officer' is Steeling Firearms. The Man's an IDIOT! no?
Shame it wasn't the head. Police corruption needs to be rooted out, instead we have bullies push out good cops
damn i thought you misspelled head instead of hand...
I'm disappointed that it wasn't in his foot.
