Another Gizmondo exec goes to jail [update 1]

The Los Angeles Times reports that Carl Freer, co-founder and managing director of Gizmondo, was arrested yesterday for allegedly impersonating a police officer in order to obtain a .44 magnum handgun.

Police searched Freer's home and 100-foot yacht, turning up 12 rifles and four handguns.

A little advice from Joystiq to Freer and Ericksson: what with the guns, the millions wasted, the totaled Enzo Ferrari, the drunk driving, the garage full of "misappropriated" exotic cars, the swank mansions and the yacht, y'all can probably lay off building "street cred" now. We believe you. You're hard. Real hard.

Question is, will Fiddy believe you enough to make room for you in his G Unit?

[Update 1: Fixed an error in the number of rifles found on Freer's property.]
