After the stir of legal trouble surrounding former Gizmondo executive Stefan Eriksson's widely reported Ferarri crash (previously reported in E161), police attention has widened to include ex-Gizmondo Europe managing director Carl Freer, who left the company last October during the initial wave of investigations into the company and its executives.
According to the latest from the Associated Press and the LA Times, Freer was arrested for allegedly attempting to buy a hand-gun without the necessary background checks by displaying a badge and claiming he was a police office. The badge in question was in fact representative only of his advisory role in the "anti-terrorism" unit of the San Gabriel Valley Transit Authority, a local private firm which provides transportation to the elderly and disabled. At the time of the arrest, local police also seized 16 hand- and shot-guns from Freer's home, and impounded his yacht.
Freer's innocence is maintained by his attorney, who denies Freer ever misrepresented himself and describes the hand-gun incident as a "misunderstanding." Freer has since been released without bail. Meanwhile, still no leads on Dietrich, the alleged driver of Eriksson's Ferrari, who Eriksson claimed fled the scene of the crash.
