Weapon lost by former Bollinger County deputy returned after eight yearsThursday, November 20, 2008MARBLE HILL, Mo. -- A weapon lost eight years ago by a Bollinger County deputy has been recently recovered. On May 29, 2000, Shawn Patrick Davis, then a Bollinger County deputy, reported that he had placed his Glock .40-caliber semiautomatic weapon on the roof of his patrol car so he could put items into the car, according to a report filed at the time. He drove off while the weapon was still on the vehicle, and it fell off. After retracing his steps, Davis was unable to find the gun. On Nov. 12, Bill Hull of the Missouri Department of Conservation found the weapon along Route B and brought it to the sheriff's department. The next day Davis identified the gun, holster and ammunition as being the property he lost. The gun was in poor condition.

Davis needs to contact Glock Inc. in Smyrna, Georgia. They would buy the pistol back in a heartbeat. When the Chesterfield Police Dept. headquarters building flooded in 1993, and was under water for weeks, Glock bought the pistols to test the weapons to see if the would fire with minimal cleanup. I would bet after the barrel is cleaned out on Davis's Glock, it will fire. Glock uses this type of information in their marketing effort. Glock's are the toughest pistols in the world.
Poor little feller!
"The gun was in poor condition"
Who woulda thought that?
Glad his name was put in the paper. I would have thought is was Sheriff Buford T. Justice son Junior.
Bullets should have been safe is his pocket.
