Arthur Young Busted in Independence Hotel Room With Unlicensed Gun
posted (February 13, 2007)

The military tacticians say that to ensure peace you've got to prepare for war, and maybe that's what caught Arthur Young in Independence Village this morning.

Young of the "back a town" crew famously agreed to a truce with George Street last month, and indeed the street violence has sharply declined. But this morning police busted Young and two associates in a hotel room in Independence Village with an illegal weapon.

Around 5:30, police searched the room of a hotel in Independence Village and found Young in the room with Angus Bruce Clare and Godwin Flores both from West Landivar. The search yielded a 9mm pistol with 19 live rounds and another magazine with 16 rounds. They also found 5.6 grammes of marijuana.

All three men have been charged with keeping unlicensed firearm and ammunition and drug possession.
