Domestic disturbance leads to illegal firearm charges for Seaford man

SEAFORD, Del. – A Seaford man was arrested earlier this week after he allegedly made a false statement during the purchase of a firearm.

Police say at around 4 p.m. Monday they responded to a residence in the 27000 block of Hollyhock Lane for a reported domestic disturbance. During the investigation, 43-year-old Urundi Harris indicated that he had recently purchased a firearm.

Further investigation revealed that Harris is prohibited from purchasing, possessing, and owning a firearm. The Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Task Force and the State Bureau of Identification joined the investigation, discovering that Harris had falsified his paperwork when purchasing the firearm.

Harris was taken into custody at his residence on Wednesday, and a search warrant of the residence led to the recovery of the illegally purchased handgun, five magazines, and ammunition. He was charged with intentionally making a false oral or written statement intended or likely to deceive the licensee in the purchase of a firearm and was later released on his own recognizance.
