Details: On 5/7/2016 at approximately 11pm, the Burlington Police Department received calls reporting a man had pointed a firearm at another person. Police later identified the suspect as Torrey Allard and the victim as Scott Hatin.

Burlington Police Officers recovered a "Umarex Colt Commander CO2 BB gun" from Allard's vehicle. The BB gun is a replica of an actual Colt Commander 1911 firearm. Mr. Allard was arrested for the crimes of simple assault, reckless endangerment and aggravated disorderly conduct. According to the BPD report, the charges are listed as: Title 13 § 1023- Simple assault: A person who is convicted of simple assault shall be imprisoned for not more than one year or fined not more than $1,000.00, or both.

NO law will prevent crime. No law will stop criminals from getting guns. Gun Control only effects the law-abiding citizen and the politicians know it.
