Anyone know what ordinance he broke???? Is it illegal to have a gun in a hotel room now?
Police on Sunday cited a Lincoln man for possessing a firearm in violation of city ordinance.
According to Capt. David Beggs: Just before 6 a.m. Sunday, police were called to the Economy Lodge at 2410 N.W. 12th St. after someone reported hearing a woman yelling, ?Get off me!?
At the hotel, police found Phillip Madlock, 26, in a room with the woman, who was unhurt. An unknown amount of marijuana lay in plain sight, and police also found a .357 Magnum Ruger revolver under a blanket.
Beggs said he did not know the relationship between Madlock and the woman. Madlock was cited for misdemeanor possession of a firearm in violation of city ordinance. Police haven?t yet made any citations related to the marijuana discovery.

It's hard telling, maybe he has a DUI on his record.
Lincoln.... ???
Dark Helmet:
or maybe it was all the weed...
if he was high, having the gun would have been a no-no...
darn hippies...
Mikee Loxxer:
Lincoln has an ordinance on the books which makes it unlawful to possess a firearm in city limits if you have been convicted of a drug related violation. This was passed after debate amongst the city council concerning pre-emption of the concealed carry law. Ken Svoboda (if I recall correctly) was the advocate for this ordnance at least that is my recollection.
Dark Helmet:
huh... interesting. good to know (not a big deal since drugs aren't really my bag...
