This is just up the river from where I live and we get our news out of the Quad cities (WQAD and KWQC) . It has been reported that the holding cell in question supposedly hadn’t been used in almost a month. Which is understandable considering most criminals are released with hours under the SAFE T act.

In reply to Geoff "Leave a gun in my cell, it's *mine* motherfucker." PR. I see Rock Island is in Illinois, and a quick confirms Rock Island Auction is as well, and Rock Island Auction is noted for auctioning some really, *really* cool machine guns, how can they get away with that, since Illinois is supposedly machine-gun free, for normal folks?

“The kid who found the gun notified staffers and the rest of the gaggle of kids were quickly ushered away as officers recovered an unloaded handgun stuffed in the pillow.”

As far as I’m concerned, that’s an open-and-shut case of “Finder’s keepers, loser’s weepers”.
