Via Sun Sentinel:

The jokes write themselves, but it was no laughing matter when Marlon Alvarez tried to get away with the rifle.

The owner of a pawn shop said he saw Marlon Alvarez leaving his store with an odd limp, so he stopped the 19-year-old outside and took back the AK-47 rifle he had stuffed in his pants.

The Sun-Sentinel reports Alvarez had prior legal issues involving  guns before moving from New York. He also racked up drug and theft charges in his new home.

“The court was just very concerned about your alleged behavior without even knowing your criminal background,” judge John Hurley commented.

Florida’s assistant state attorney Eric Linder asked Hurley to crack down on Alvarez.

“It’s one thing to try to steal a firearm,” Linder argued. “It’s another thing trying to steal an AK47 and potentially trying to put a stolen firearm out on the street.”

Bond was set at $25,000.

___ Evidence Storage And Organizing A Police DepaA grand jury has indicted a former Darien police officer on a theft charge in the disappearance of drugs from the city police department’s evidence room.

The Florida Times Union (http://bit.ly/1Atji6G ) reports Nicholaus “Nick” Odell Roundtree was indicted last week in McIntosh County on single counts of theft by conversion and violating his oath of office. The indictment was received Tuesday in Superior Court.

Authorities accuse Roundtree of taking more than $1,500 worth of drugs in the evidence locker.

Roundtree resigned in June, the month after authorities asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to probe the disappearance of drugs held as evidence in criminal cases.

The GBI secured a warrant to arrest Roundtree in September.

Roundtree remains free on $11,100 bail. It is unclear if he has a lawyer.
