Daughter turns in dad who called police on her
Drugs, weapons found in his homeSaturday, November 27, 2004 Posted: 6:03 PM EST (2303 GMT)
NEWARK, New Jersey (AP) — A father’s attempt to teach his daughter a lesson about drinking backfired when the teen led police to a stash of drugs and weapons inside their home.
Kevin Winston, 46, called police at 2:45 a.m. Friday after his 16-year-old daughter came home drunk and unruly. When police arrived, however, the girl told them she feared for her safety because her father stored drugs and weapons in the home.
The girl led officers to a crawl space above the ceiling where they found four semiautomatic guns and more than 600 vials of cocaine.
Winston was charged with numerous weapons and drug charges. His five daughters were placed in the custody of a relative.
“He called us on her and ended up getting locked up himself,” said Newark Police Director Anthony Ambrose.
Oh man, how dumb do you have to be? The last thing I’d want to see in my coke and gun filled apartment is a cop.
They just don’t make criminals the way they used to.
