NOPD Arrests Subject for Illegal Possession of Firearms in Eighth District

The NOPD arrested Gregory Richardson (DOB: 03-09-1989) on May 3, 2019, after he was found to be in illegal possession of a firearm in the 200 block of Bourbon Street.

At about 10:321 p.m., NOPD Eighth District Bourbon Promenade officers were flagged down by security at a bar in the 200 block of Bourbon Street regarding a male subject – later identified as Richardson – allegedly carrying a concealed firearm inside of the bar. Upon further investigation, Richardson was found to have two completely concealed firearms in his waistband and front cargo pocket. Richardson was arrested and transported to the Orleans Parish Justice Center, where he was booked for illegal possession of a firearm inside of an alcoholic beverage outlet.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the NOPD Eighth District at 504-658-6080.
