Of course it does to you. You’ve already made it clear you find cops stealing is acceptable and not a big deal.

200 weapons .
How freaking arrogant do you have to be to think that was going to wash ?
It might be a while before someone noticed one, maybe two, but 200 ? JFC these guys had to be mental.
Case sounds weak.
Guys, this reeks of the same scam that got DEC Salvage closed down.Wilmot collected about 200 obsolete weapons (rifles, shotguns and handguns) at the armory, and sent them to Jurek after tagging nine weapons, indicating that they were interested in them, and later were given those weapons by Jurek at no cost.

It helps to remember that there are many like this one...
...who are the problem. They (like he) have a belief that any any police interaction was earned and all indiscretions are comparable to any other workplace.
Ours...“Wilmot collected about 200 obsolete weapons”
Wtf is an obsolete weapon? Hope they actually get some type of punishment for this
Yep.
And retired at 50? Damn. Must be nice.
Wow. I work for the state but I have to put in at least 30 years before I can retire. I’ll be 61 and get 52.5%. I suspect I’ll be working beyond 61.They can do a 20/50 split for retirement. They fall under "group 3"
So they can do 20 yrs and retire with a 50% pension.

I'm wondering if Troy Industries also doubled as one of those bonded warehouses.

Not mental, they knew about other crazy shit others got away with and figured what they were doing wasn't going to be a problem.

Guilt...time served, small bump up in pension, State job...maybe warden of the prison or something.
I agree it's rare. But the charges are from the AG, Peter Mullin is the Assistant AG who is prosecuting.Im skeptical that the charges are from The Attorneys Office and not the ATF. Something does not smell right. Can anyone remember when the Attorney Generals office of Maura Healys ever filed any charges to any state office or their employees or ex employees , me neither. detail scam was the feds.

Maybe they sent them out to Benchmade, where they were "destroyed" (wink-wink).I'm wondering if Troy Industries also doubled as one of those bonded warehouses.
You’re too easy. It was a joke as I stated before. These two knuckleheads clearly f’d up and now will pay the consequences as they should. Hopefully your panties didn’t get wadded too much
AG: 2 retired state troopers indicted for illegally disposing of department weapons, accepting free guns
BOSTON (WHDH) - Two retired state troopers are facing criminal charges after allegedly taking free guns that they were supposed to be disposing of and accepting free personalized weapons from a prospective vendor, Attorney General Maura Healey’s Office announced.
Former state police Lt. Paul M. Wosny, 50, of Norfolk, and former trooper Michael G. Wilmot, 59, of Sturbridge, will each be arraigned in East Brookfield District Court on a charge of using their official position to obtain an unwarranted privilege, according to Healey’s Office.
Prosecutors allege that while working at the department’s armory in New Braintree in 2013, they received from Troy Industries Inc. two Trooper Carbine rifles to Wilmot for free — one for him and one for Wosny — that were customized with their state police ID numbers as the rifles’ serial numbers.
At the time, Troy Industries, of West Springfield, was looking to become a state police vendor.
Then, in 2015, Wosny allegedly decided, without the knowledge or approval of his supervisors, to do an exchange of state police weapons with Jurek Bros., a firearms dealer and state police vendor in Greenfield, for store credit toward the purchase of new weapons.
Wilmot collected about 200 obsolete weapons (rifles, shotguns and handguns) at the armory, and sent them to Jurek after tagging nine weapons, indicating that they were interested in them, and later were given those weapons by Jurek at no cost.
Wosny and Wilmot then allegedly submitted false and misleading reports in which they failed to disclose that they had gotten weapons back from Jurek at no charge.
Wosny was transferred out of the armory in September 2015.
In October 2015, prosecutors say Wilmot took from the armory four Colt upper receivers; over 100 high capacity plastic magazines; and approximately 23 Troy upper receivers.
In November 2015, Wilmot and Wosny met at the armory, where Wosny allegedly took three of the Troy upper receivers and Wilmot retained 2 Colt uppers, over 100 high capacity plastic magazines, and 13-15 Troy uppers.
Wilmot is scheduled to be arraigned in East Brookfield District Court on Nov. 1 and Wosny on Dec. 5.
"Here are your winnings"Shocked I tell you!!!!
Shocked!!
Exactly, jealousy is a horrible thing.
Troy Industries allegedly prepared false records, relating to the carbines given to Wilmot and Wosny, stating they were transferred on Aug. 21, 2013, to First Defense Firearms Inc. of Uxbridge, operated by Dennis Doti, a Massachusetts State Police trooper.
If, as is being speculated, someone dropped a dime on the two troopers who allegedly were taking kickbacks, then I’m thankful to whoever dropped a dime. People here on NES say that cops shouldn’t protect dirty cops. If these troopers did, in fact, take kickbacks, then they are dirty and deserve to have the book thrown at them.
Sounds to me like Doti was the one who dropped the dime.
It means there were 200 weapons that th mass state police had decided to replace with new weapons. From westers online dictionary:“Wilmot collected about 200 obsolete weapons”
