Police: Man painted gun to resemble toy

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) -

Orlando Lowery was in court this weekend for allegedly painting his .380 caliber semi-automatic handgun to look like a toy.

Lowery, 23, was arrested in the 9500 block of Wayne Avenue where officials found him armed with the gun.

Officials believe Lowery purposefully painted the gun red to mislead law enforcement into thinking it was a toy gun, according to Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil.

Nine grams of crack cocaine were also found on Lowery, according to police.

In fact, that "cell phone" might actually be a gun, just painted to look like a phone. Shoot him.
