Cops: Real guns and ammo, fake bombs and badges found in Houma man's apartment
Chris Miller Reporting
Guns, ammo, fake bombs and fake badges -- it's all part of a haul Terrebonne Parish sheriff's officials today say they seized from an apartment in Houma.
State and federal authorities joined Terrebonne deputies as they searched the apartment of Michael Hebert, a 61-year-old convicted felon the cops say was in possession of 19 firearms.
"One of those firearms had an obliterated serial number, which is illegal," said Dawn Foret of the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office. "One of them was also a modified or illegally possessed firearm."
As a convicted felon, it's illegal for Hebert to possess any firearms. Foret said they also found fake bombs and counterfeit badges of federal law enforcement agencies.
According to Foret, Hebert was convicted in 1990 on felony charges of illegal possession and transfer of a machine gun and wire fraud.
