Rochelle Bilal is the Sheriff of Philadelphia County, PA.  She is up for re-election in seven weeks.  The county auditor just released a report that says she has "lost" 185 guns, including 76 department weapons and 109 weapons belonging to private citizens that were "temporarily" seized due to a protection order.  

The Sheriff says the actual number of "misplaced" guns is much less than 185 and the assertion by the auditor is political in nature.

It wasn't the "auditor" it was the "controller" that did the audit. My bad.

So is the "lost" guns going to be prosecuted? The value of the guns combined would make it a felony.
