Former Seattle Sonics and Oklahoma City Thunder player Robert Swift was charged with unlawful possession of a short-barreled shotgun (http://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/Ex-Seattle-Sonic-Robert-Swift-charged-after-5888804.php) after police raided the house where he was living, SeattlePI.com reports.
According to police, Swift had a grenade launcher and a sawed-off shotgun in his room at the home of Trygve Bjorkstam, a 54-year-old alleged heroin dealer.
Swift told law enforcement that he was a heroin user but not a dealer, police say. Bjorkstam allegedly told police Swift was not helping him sell drugs.
The house is 100 yards from an elementary school, reports SeattlePI.
From the report (http://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/Ex-Seattle-Sonic-Robert-Swift-charged-after-5888804.php):
Known to police as 'Trigg,' Bjorkstam admitted to dealing heroin and meth, and to building a gun range in a bunker he dug under his home to house a marijuana grow, a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent said in court papers. Police describe Bjorkstam, 54, as dejected and contrite following his arrest.
'I should just die,' he told Redmond police, according to court papers. 'My life is over … l'd probably be better off dead.'
Swift's $1.3 million house outside Seattle was foreclosed on last year. He left it covered in feces and bullets (http://www.businessinsider.com/robert-swift-leaves-foreclosed-house-trashed-photos-2013-3), according to the family that bought the house.
