Judge to decide Monday on Topper’s detention validity

PHILIPSBURG--The Judge of Instruction will decide on the validity of the detention of the owner of Topper's Restaurant on Monday.
 
Topper's owner H.A.D. (66), who was detained on Wednesday, was seen in front of the judge on Friday. D's attorney Remco Stomp said the Judge of Instruction will take a decision on the merits of the detention of his client on Monday. This means that D. will remain in detention over the weekend.
 
D. and his wife M.R.D (48) were arrested on Wednesday, after police found a fully loaded .22 calibre handgun and a box with 83 bullets at one of their restaurants, and a fully loaded .38 revolver at their home. M.R.D. was released the same day.
 
Stomp had said permits had been requested for the firearms, which were in "properly locked vaults" and were kept for "self-defence" as his clients had received death threats, and had been the victims of multiple assaults.
Police were acting on information received when they conducted the searches. Both firearms were confiscated for further investigation.
