"After a previous audit failed to locate the weapon, current interim Dallas County Sheriff Marian Brown ordered another inventory be completed on the Sheriff’s Property Room yesterday," the sheriff's office said Tuesday morning.

During that search, the pistol issued to Valdez in 2011, after her own weapon malfunctioned, was found.

The sheriff's office said they now believe the gun was surrendered Jan. 2 and mistakenly not entered into inventory at that time.

Thoughts:

1. Shouldn't Valdez have been able to tell them that immediately? "Hey I gave that back to you guys on 2Jan." Nothing to that effect appears in the original article.

2. What other booboos do they have in inventory? I can see not keeping close tabs on office chairs and staplers, but I would think the armament inventory should be pretty closely monitored...

Well then, no problem because she didn't lose track of her own firearm.


She lost track of a government (Sheriff's Dept) firearm. :grumble

Dallas County Sheriff's office looking for gun issued to Texas governor candidate Lupe Valdez

A gun used by Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Lupe Valdez when she was Dallas County sheriff has not been returned, Sheriff's Department records show.

Valdez was supplied with the Beretta 9mm pistol in 2011 when a gun of the same model she owned "sustained a malfunction," according to a sheriff's department report obtained by The Dallas Morning News.


"It is likely that this weapon could have been stolen or misplaced during Sheriff Valdez's moving transition," the report stated.
