NORTHAMPTON — The trial of former Pelham police chief Edward Fleury opened Friday morning with the prosecutor describing an “improperly stored arsenal” of weapons found throughout his house.
Fleury is charged with 22 counts of improperly storing a firearm. The charges originate from a Sept. 11, 2014, search of Fleury’s home for a Glock handgun, which he allegedly pointed at a friend outside the Belchertown VFW in August 2014.
Fleury was acquitted in October 2016 of an assault with a dangerous weapon charge arising from the VFW incident, as well as two counts of improperly storing a firearm.
Hampshire Superior Court Judge Daniel Ford is presiding over the current trial.
In his opening statement, Assistant District Attorney Matthew Thomas said officers who searched Fleury’s home “found weapons in almost every room of this house.”
