(KRON) — A girl was arrested after she unintentionally left her purse and gun inside a Vallejo resort room. Police mentioned the incident started March 9 when the girl checked out of her room at a resort on Admiral Callaghan Lane.
As soon as the girl realized that she had forgotten her firearm, she returned to the resort demanding her purse again. By that point, the resort’s workers had already discovered the gun contained in the purse and referred to as police.
“When staff informed her that the police had been called, she enlisted her boyfriend’s help to retrieve it. When staff refused to return the purse, the couple began arguing, yelling that hotel employees had no right to call the police, and refusing to leave without it,” the Vallejo Police Division wrote.
Officers arrived on the resort and located the couple sitting inside a car. A toddler was within the backseat, police mentioned. Officers learn the girl her Miranda rights and she or he denied understanding something in regards to the gun. She claimed that her purse solely contained cash and paperwork, police mentioned.
“However, after an officer had a heart-to-heart conversation with her about the importance of being truthful, she admitted the firearm was hers. She stated she had ‘found it’ in South Vallejo and decided to keep it for protection,” VPD wrote.
