Police Get Plaxico’s Bloody Pants
December 29th, 2008
When police descended upon the New Jersey home of Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress last week and seized guns and ammunition, they also walked away with the bloody pants that Burress wore when he accidentally shot himself in the bathroom of a nightclub when the gun he was sporting slid down the leg of his sweatpants. The Associated Press reports that in addition to a 9-mm handgun, a .30-06-caliber rifle and the ammunition, (including a clip for a .45 gun), police also said they recovered the sneakers that Burress wore during the accidental shooting during the three-hour search of the New York Giants receiver’s Totowa home. It is likely that investigators are trying to determine whether the recovered weapons are registered, according to AP. If they are not registered, it is likely that the suspended NFL star will face additional charges, the news agency reports. Benjamin Brafman, the receiver’s criminal attorney, said Wednesday morning that he believed that only a registered rifle was taken from the home.
