McVey Loses Gun Permit/Released From Jail

Coshocton County Sheriff Tim Rogers has pulled the concealed weapons permit of a local man arrested in North Carolina who authorities say wanted to see the President while carrying a gun.

Sheriff Rogers says he sent a notice of suspension to Joseph Sean McVey, informing him he was suspending McVey’s concealed carry handgun license.

Rogers cited McVey’s arrest in North Carolina Sunday on a misdemeanor charge of going armed in terror of the public.

A Sheriff’s Office report from January released to the Associated Press indicates McVey had a permit to carry a .40 caliber handgun.

The Asheville Citizen Times is reporting that McVey, whose mother lives in Asheville, was released from jail Tuesday afternoon.  The Paper says McVey used a bondsman to post the $100,000  bond. 

He was released from jail at 4 p.m.  McVey’s next court date is June 10th.
