ELYRIA, Ohio -- An 11-year-old girl found a loaded gun in a used car, and her family wants disciplinary action taken against the former police chief who owns it, reported NewsChannel5.
Houssain Mishkin, of Grafton, said his daughter, Layla, found a loaded .38-caliber revolver in a 1998 Toyota Camry he purchased two weeks ago. The car was bought at Twining Auto Sales, and was formerly owned by former Oberlin Police Chief Robert Jones, who worked for the department for 30 years.
According to an Elyria police report, Jones lost track of the gun and it was left in the back pouch of the car's seat when he sold it. Four months later, Mishkin purchased the car, and his daughter pulled the gun out of the pouch while the family was on the road.
Mishkin is upset no disciplinary action was taken against Jones, who is now head of security at Oberlin College. "As a family man, as a businessman, I think he's really irresponsible," said Mishkin.
The gun has been returned to Jones. Elyria police say the revolver was his personal weapon and not his service revolver.
