On 07/07/2022 at 10:56pm, officers from the Green Bay Police Department encountered a male subject in a vehicle at the River Ramp parking ramp on North Washington/Pine St.  The officers took custody of a male subject for suspected drug possession.  An eventual search incident to arrest resulted in officers locating what was first thought to be a GLOCK 17 handgun. The gun had the look, weight, and feel of a GLOCK handgun. However, upon further inspection, it was determined that the handgun was a BB gun.

This is another unfortunate example of a facsimile firearm being associated with illegal behavior and poor decision making, much like the incident from July 4^th.

This incident highlights the need for people to think about their actions and to avoid becoming involved in dangerous situations.  The officers involved in this investigation should be commended for their professionalism and decisive response to yet another very dangerous situation.
