Arnold Police are trying to recover a gun that was inadvertently left in a gas station’s bathroom. The gun is a 9mm Taurus, which is worth about $229, police reported.
A 58-year-old Arnold man said at about 11:30 p.m. Dec. 31, he used the bathroom in the On the Run gas station, 3611 West Outer Road. He said he placed his gun on the back of the toilet and left it there when he exited the business, the report said.
