VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) – A man in Virginia Beach was arrested for allegedly stealing a firearm during a gun show.
Virginia State Police initially sought the public’s help early November after an investigation was conducted about a theft that happened during a gun show at the Virginia Beach Convention Center.
One resident was able to name the man, now identified as 81-year-old Louis Cale Spruill of Virginia Beach, and reported him to the police.
