Oh man, this just keeps getting better and better:

Richard Austin Wyatt the owner of Gunsmoke Guns in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, and the former reality TV star of “American Guns,” was arrested last Friday, reports local media.Upon learning of the warrant, Wyatt turned himself in to authorities at the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. He is being charged with theft from an at-risk adult, a class 3 felony.According to the the Wheat Ridge Police Department, the elderly customer consigned “a rare and antique gun collection,” with Wyatt and “repeated efforts by the victim at recovering several of the weapons had failed.”
Police are now investigating to determine whether there were other customers who had consignment issues with Wyatt.This latest development comes on the heels of a raid of Gunsmoke Guns on March 31 by the ATF and the IRS. While that search was “unrelated” to the claim by the elderly customer, agents recovered several of the man’s firearms.
Aside from being the owner of the gun shop, Wyatt was previously the chief of police in Alma, Colorado.

I just found this so sorry if a repost.

WOW!! This completes the fiction of Rich Wyatt. He is a blight on society. Hope he rots in jail for a good long time.

This is crazy, Will Hayden and Rich Wyatt what a pair. Who's next Jim West? Do you think they were dirt bags before reality TV or did the star power corrupt there brains? I guess the people producing these shows must be looking for low lives to be the stars, just to make gun owners look bad. No, they would never do that, right?

Knowing Mr. Wyatt prior to American Guns, he was a dirt bag prior to his silly show and reality stardumb. And from what I hear, from an army buddy from Baton Rouge, Will Hayden was kind of a douche the two or three times he went there... this was long before his show.

With regards to Will Hayden, he was a dirt bag before. I think most of the allegations against him are from before the show.

Unscrupulous men run unscrupulous businesses.... I don't do business with such men. That said, in both of their cases, it is still America so while they may be known for being dirt bags, they're innocent until proven guilty... If they are indeed innocent, I wish them a speedy and fair vindication. If they are guilty, then may they rot in the cesspool of their own making.

Bad people in every profession.

I wonder if the TV Producers actually seek out these dirt bags as drama does "Sell".

Yes.. no one would want to watch a show about a regular gun shop, it would be boring as hell.. as well as these people most likely sought out the reality show producers themselves to get more attention.

If they are indeed innocent, I wish them a speedy and fair vindication. If they are guilty, then may they rot in the cesspool of their own making.
