News breaks yesterday that the Greensboro City Council member’s husband was arrested and charged with felony possession of a stolen weapon as well as two misdeameanor weapons charges and speeding:
Marikay Abuzuaiter, who has a concealed carry permit, said that her husband never felt the need to get his own permit. She explained that her husband’s store had been robbed twice in November and during one of the robberies the clerk shot at the robber. The police took the gun that was fired into evidence. She said because of that her husband purchased a new gun and evidently it was stolen.
She said, “I just really hate that it happened.”
Today we learn the council member’s restaurant —-Marikay’s —has an IRS lien against it.
Note the Rhino ran Isa Abuzuaiter’s arrest only in its ‘Shorts” column, but the N&R buries it in the print edition under a generic headline. Traffic stop for speeding leads to weapons charges. Just on glance it could have been anybody.
