The Attorney General’s Office filed charges yesterday against former acting police director Capt. Aniceto T. Ogumoro, who was arrested last Saturday after police raided his house on Capitol Hill where they allegedly recovered three rifles and 25 boxes of ammunitions.

Ogumoro, 44, was charged with two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, one count of possession of a weapon without proper registration, and one count of unlawful possession of ammunition.

Chief Prosecutor Jeffery Warfield Sr. stated in the information that on Feb. 6, 2006, Ogumoro was found in unlawful possession of an automatic weapon, a Remington Rifle Win Mag with weaver scope.

Warfield said the defendant also possessed an automatic weapon, a Colt AR 15 rifle.

Warfield said Ogumoro also had no proper registration for a Ruger Mini 14 cal. 223.

The chief prosecutor said the police captain also had 25 boxes of Winchester Super Buckshot 12 gauge rounds.

Ogumoro had posted a $50,000 property bond for his temporary release.

The arrest of Capt. Ogumoro was made a day after police arrested his brother, Department of Public Safety range master Ambrosio T. Ogumoro, on allegations he beat up his wife and for illegal possession of a firearm and ammunitions.

The Ogumoro brothers are neighbors on Capitol Hill.
