Mustachioed Man Seen Loading Gun Inside SUV
The following is a selection of calls from Lake Forest to the Orange County Sheriff's Department from April 12 to April 15.
A mustachioed man loading a 9mm handgun inside a maroon SUV was reported just before 9 p.m. Wednesday at the intersection of Pittsford and Lake Forest Drive. Mr. Mustache also shouted expletives at the caller when he noticed he was being observed. Can't a man with a hairy upper lip have a little privacy when loading a gun?
