Fifty-eight-year-old Jose Gilberto Ortiz was arraigned in U.S. District Court in San Jose on Thursday on charges of selling firearms to the officers from his hot dog stand.
His partner, 23-year-old Guillermo Gonzalez Castillo, was also arraigned on weapons charges. Castillo is additionally accused of selling the San Jose police officers methamphetamine.
Authorities say the officers purchased a sawed off shotgun, a machine gun and other firearms from the pair. They were arrested at the hot dog stand on Sept. 2.
Messages for the men's attorneys were not immediately returned.
I want to know where these two-bit gun runners obtained their contraband.
This is probably the tiny corner of something much bigger.
In the ATF "Fast and Furious" fiasco, there is evidence that our government was providing high-quality weapons to criminals.
I am getting the impression that other "law enforcement" agencies have been infiltrated and turned into "crime enforcement" agencies!
So I want to hear that these arrests led to the discovery of a bigger operation, or I will be tempted to assume that the police were just punishing someone who tried to butt into their business!
