This makes me think someone called in "man with a gun" and the cop thinks he dumped/hid the gun before he arrived.Assuming a more confrontational demeanor, the officer then turns to Parten and states,
“So I'm gonna ask you one more time: where's the weapon?”
“I don't have it,” Parten tells him. “It's at home.”
He erred by saying “I don't have it,” / “It's at home.” He should not have even admitted to having a weapon,anywhere, ever.
