A Texas couple is still waiting for police to return their guns to them after the weapons were taken in 2018.
Brandy Napier and her husband have been trying to get their guns back since China Grove, Texas, police took them and told her the guns could not be returned without documentation from the district attorney’s office, according to FOX 29. But the Napiers say there is no open case against them, so they can’t receive any kind of documentation.
The Napiers said they were not provided a report on the confiscation of their guns and only received a burglar’s inventory sheet. The department told Brandy Napier last month it still did not have the documentation from the DA’s office, with the Washington Examiner receiving a similar response from Police Chief Ralph Sramek when asking about the family’s guns.

The couple’s lawyer, Patrick Hancock, claims he has checked and that it does not look like a case exists with the husband’s name, Franklin Napier, at the district attorney’s office, adding that it is too late to create one.
“If they can’t produce the guns that were taken, the personal property of the individual that was taken, and they can’t produce a public police report to even verify that a China Grove officer stopped them and took an individual’s property, then they need to be investigated by the Texas Rangers,” Patrick Hancock, the couple’s lawyer said.

The China Grove Police Department confiscated three guns from Franklin Napier as he was leaving the gun range for running stop signs in August 2018.
