Niagara Falls Probationer Hides Fully Automatic Glock in Baby's Playpen

Niagara Falls Police responded to the 2000 block of 18th Street around 9:30pm on February 10th to assist Niagara County Probation with a home check.

Upon arrival, officers observed a black SUV in the driveway known to be operated by a female and a black male known to police who was wearing a face covering carrying a small child into a residence. Probation officers made contact with the female and male at the door and she indicated another person was inside, initially claiming the male was her brother.

When the male removed his mask, he was positively identified as Jeremiah James Walker. Supervisory Probation Officer Bill Collins contacted Walker in an upstairs bathroom and, after Walker exited the bathroom, searched the bathroom and located suspected narcotics.

Walker was then detained.

Collins continued his search upstairs and found a Glock 44 handgun in a baby’s playpen which had an apparent auto sear (“glock switch”) affixed to the rear of the firearm, rendering it fully capable of fully automatic fire. On scene, both the female and Walker denied ownership of the gun and were transported to Niagara Falls Police Headquarters.

Once there, Walker admitted that the firearm belonged to him and signed a written statement accepting responsibility. The female was released from custody.

Walker was subsequently arrested and charged with criminal possession of an assault weapon in the 3rd degree.

No further information is available at this time.
