ATF Gun Licensing Director Russell Vanderwerf Arrested

Update: The door was likely between an inner bedroom and the suite. I guess he left the room door open to the hall to, um, attract visitors.

You might be able to make this up. But it would require a pretty disturbed mind. Where to begin. Initially being investigated for disabling the fire alarm systems in his hotel room, due to shower steam, he claimed, it was discovered he had replaced the hotel room door with a piece of plywood. The plywood contained a circular padded hole believed to be used for sexual acts. See gloryhole. Yes, it was facing the hotel hallway. It would seem he was interested in inspecting more than firearms. h/t BJ in email. And, no, I'm not making that up, either.

He serves as the director of industry operations for ATF's Houston field office. The industry operations division is the regulatory arm of the agency, responsible for overseeing the inspection of all federal gun and explosives licensees, said ATF spokesman Drew Wade. He confirmed that Vanderwerf was in the New Orleans area on official business.

"We are aware of the arrest by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office," said Wade, who added that he could not discuss anything that could be connected to a continuing investigation.

But the staffers and a deputy sheriff also discovered that someone had removed the bedroom door from its hinges and replaced it with a 5-by-4-foot piece of plywood affixed to the frame and the drywall with hinges and screws, the arrest report said. The door had two locks attached from the bedroom side and a circular hole padded with duct tape. The deputy noted in the arrest report that the hole appeared to be used "in some sort of sexual act."

This is the plywood version of the "double-bagger", so no one gets to see what's really going on.

Are we sure it wasn't a peep show for midgets?

Duct tape shows deep planning and skill with tools. This guy could be dangerous.

I have to wonder about those "friends" of Vanderwerf's, and if any of them were named Henry Bowman. It's hard to believe that even a BATFEces would be that stupid.

Official business? Hmmmm.

Maybe the glory hole was for doing bore inspections? You know. You insert the barrel and he can tell you what kind of rifling and or copper fouling you might have.

At least he is upholding the fine tradition amongst ATF of only hiring the best of the best.

I guess there's more than one way to skin a ...never mind.

Hey, if it's good enough for the safe fisting Czar for school safety, then surely it's good enough for the ATF.

One down, many to go.

Steven Seagal: Lawman.

Seagal has a new tv show featuring his work with the Jefferson Parrish Sheriff's Dept (low profile, for the last 20 years).

I do so very much hope that Sensei Seagal made that arrest!!!!

On a more serious note, this simply illustrates, once again, the nature of our Domestic Enemy.

Sure is hard to be serious at a moment like this!!!

Apparently this WAS NOT for ORAL gratification, as there was found to be copious amount of a gel lubricant around the door hole. So he was on his knees, but facing in the wrong direction.

Just proves what many of already know -- that too many federal gub'ment employees are homosexual whores.
