AG: 2 retired state troopers indicted for illegally disposing of department weapons, accepting free guns
Prosecutors allege that while working at the department’s armory in New Braintree in 2013, they received from Troy Industries Inc. two Trooper Carbine rifles to Wilmot for free — one for him and one for Wosny — that were customized with their state police ID numbers as the rifles’ serial numbers.
At the time, Troy Industries, of West Springfield, was looking to become a state police vendor.
Then, in 2015, Wosny allegedly decided, without the knowledge or approval of his supervisors, to do an exchange of state police weapons with Jurek Bros., a firearms dealer and state police vendor in Greenfield, for store credit toward the purchase of new weapons.
