Man Found With Arsenal of Assault Weapons Released on Bond
(KFWB) -- A Pasadena man who was arrested after police found about five dozen
assault weapons and 15,000 rounds of ammunition in his home is being released on a
$50,000 dollar bond.
Leonard William Herbert, a TV engineer who works for ABC, was caught with the
arsenal of weapons after he called police to report that a pickup truck had crashed into
his backyard. Police did not find the driver of the truck, but they did spot dozens of
fully-automatic machine guns, assault rifles, silencers and pistols inside Herbert's
house.
Herbert, 58, says he's a gun collector. But an Asst. U.S. Attorney alleges that the
investigation leads them to believe he may have been involved in illegal weapons
sales. In arguing against his release, she cited evidence including a metal shop on his
property with tools to alter firearms and the fact that most of the weapons were
concealed within the house.
He faces federal charges of unlawful possession of machine guns and is charged in
state court with five counts of assault weapon possession. Prosecutors have not
determined which case will be tried first.
