Univ. of Florida Gymnast Arrested After Gun Cache Found in Apartment

A University of Florida gymnast has been arrested after authorities found a small arms depot in her apartment.

Good news: Melanie Sinclair, a senior and nine-time All-America, didn't steal the the nine guns, two computers and a safe listed on the police report. Bad news: her boyfriend Bud Leonard Williams, a convicted felon, did, and he ratted her out to the fuzz as knowing the goods were hot.

Sinclair now faces two felony counts of larceny and one felony count of burglary of a dwelling unarmed, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

So how did po-po discover Williams' operation? He was arrested Sunday for allegedly carrying a loaded 12-gauge shotgun through the apartment complex. That might not raise suspicions in, say, Ramadi, but it still tends to freak people out in Gainesville. The Sentinel reports that Williams faces 11 counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, burglary, theft and theft of a firearm.

Sinclair, who set a school record 10.0 on the uneven bars on three occasions, has been suspended from the team, although that is probably the least of her worries at the moment.
