PHOENIX — A northern Arizona police department is asking the public to be on the lookout for a handgun that was misplaced by the police chief earlier this month.
According to a press release, the Prescott Valley Chief of Police Bryan Jarrell left his handgun in a restroom stall at the Prescott Valley Public Library around 6 p.m. on Nov. 9.
The department said Jarrell was changing clothes after a town council meeting when he “inadvertently left his department-issued firearm in the restroom stall and left.”
Jarrell did not notice the weapon was missing until four days later and immediately reported it.
The handgun is described as a Glock 19 that is .9mm in caliber and black in color. The serial number is YHC 944.
Anyone with information about the handgun’s whereabouts is encouraged to contact the Prescott Valley Police Department at 928-772-9261.
