ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico authorities say they're puzzled by what turned up in a package of meat at a Roswell grocery store.
A worker at Albertsons opened a case of frozen ribs Wednesday and found a handgun and ammunition packed with the meat.
Roswell police Sgt. Jim Preston tells Albuquerque television station KRQE that it would be speculation to say how it got there, but that they do have some clues.
"While unpacking meat for Albertson's, they located this gun in the meat, in the actual packaged case," Sgt. Preston said. "At that time they removed it from the store and brought it to the Roswell Police Department."
A police report shows that the meat came from the Swift Packing Plant in Greeley, Colo., and is marked with the date June 8, 2011.
Greeley police say they're reviewing cases to see if the gun was used in any crimes.
The employee cleaned the gun, a semi-automatic Rock Island Armory .38 Super, before bringing it to police, which made it difficult to trace as evidence.
"We are investigating where the actual firearm came from," Preston said. "It is not listed in NCIC as a stolen firearm, so we are going to do an actual firearm search through the ATF to attempt to determine where the firearm came from."
That search, done through the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, could take weeks or even months
CAN YOU BELIVE IT?
The RIBS ARE A YEAR AND A HALF OLD!!!!!!
