Comments 0 | Recommend 0FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) - A homeless man from Fort Pierce is behind bars after authorities say he hid several weapons, including
knives, in the hollow of his prosthetic leg.
Fire rescue officials picked up 64-year-old Jerry Moody from a truck stop and brought him to the emergency room. He told the staff
he was armed with a loaded revolver and 23 rounds of ammunition. He also pulled out four knives from his prosthetic leg.
Moody told police he has been robbed before and carries the weapons to protect himself. He was arrested because he did not have
a permit to carry concealed weapons.
