HOUSTON (AP) - August 8, 2009 Twenty-five-year-old George Vera was charged with possession of
a firearm in a correctional facility after he told a guard at the
Harris County Jail about the unloaded 9mm pistol. The Houston
Chronicle reported Thursday that Vera was originally arrested on
charges of selling illegal copies of compact discs.
The 500-pound man was searched during his arrest and again at a
city jail and the county jail, but officers never found the weapon
in his rolls of skin. Vera admitted having the gun during a shower
break at the county jail.
