Background Check Leads to Arrest

Most states require background checks before you can purchase a firearm. In New Jersey, authorities were able to catch a man wanted for leaving the scene of an accident when he tried to buy a gun.

Jeffrey Adams of East Orange was wanted for an accident that occurred on July 6, 2008 in which he hit a car head on. One of the passengers died a month after the wreck. Police issued a warrant for Adams for leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in a death. But police had no address on Adams.

Last week Adams tried to buy a gun and was rejected because of the background check. But he wrote his current address on the application which was processed through the state. Police arrested him at his home. He is being held in the Essex County Correctional Facility pending extradition to the Hudson County Jail.
