Fort Pierce felon arrested with guns, pot at his ‘bomb shelter,’ police say
August 6th, 2009 by TCPalm.comFORT PIERCE — A local man faces nearly 60 felony charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon after sheriff’s investigators recovered dozens of guns at his home and “bomb shelter,” according to an arrest affidavit released Thursday.
Sheriff’s investigators executed a search warrant Wednesday at the home of Britt Edward Bailey, 52, in the 100 block of East Midway Road.
Along with a small amount of marijuana, investigators turned up dozens of handguns and rifles and more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition. Bailey’s status as a convicted felon prohibits him from owning firearms.
Investigators reportedly recovered the weapons from his home and from what was described in the affidavit as a “bomb shelter.”
Bailey, listed as unemployed, faces 57 felony counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and single counts each of possession of ammunition by a convicted felon and possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana.
