Man raking leaves uncovers loaded gun in bushes

By Lucas Sullivan | Monday, November 9, 2009, 10:28 AM

DAYTON - A 42-year-old man raking his leaves in his front yard uncovered a loaded semi-automatic handgun in his bushes Saturday, Nov. 7.

George Watson Jr. was trying to clean up his yard in the 500 block of Kenilworth Avenue about 12:30 p.m. when he noticed a black, 9-millimeter Highpoint gun in his bushes, according to a police report.

Officers arrived and found a bullet in the chamber, but there was no magazine, the report stated. The serial number had been scratched off, making it impossible for officers to identify the original owner of the gun, the report stated.
