Man facing gun charges has a tattoo of one of the guns
May 21, 2005
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. --A Framingham man facing gun charges may have a hard time
convincing authorities that one of three guns seized from his apartment
building is not his -- because he has an exact replica of the .380 caliber
pistol, including the serial number, tattooed on his hip, police said.
"I've never, never seen something like this," Deputy Chief Craig Davis told
the MetroWest Daily News. "This is like the world's dumbest criminal."
The guns were found on Thursday after two Middlesex sheriff's deputies went
to 18-year-old Justin Breakspear's apartment to serve a pair of warrants for
a breakin and marijuana possession.
The deputies saw ammunition, a gun holster and what looked like gun parts.
Police obtained a search warrant for the home and found the weapons -- the
pistol, a 16-gauge sawed-off shotgun and a 12-gauge sawed-off shotgun -- in
a common storage area.
It would be hard for Breakspear to deny at least one gun was his because of
the tattoo, Davis said.
Breakspear is charged with the illegal possession of a firearm, the illegal
possession of ammunition, failure to secure a firearm, two counts of the
illegal possession of a sawed-off shotgun and defacing the serial number of
a firearm, Davis said.
Davis said the guns have been sent to the state crime lab for ballistics
testing.
