"  How about a side of ammo with those ribs? That&amp;#039;s exactly what a worker at an Albertsons in New Mexico was subjected to when he inadvertently opened a box of frozen meat that also happened to contain a semiautomatic weapon and seven rounds of ammunition. According to KRQE news, the find was a surprise to everyone and so far has law enforcement stumped. The president of the Roswell Police Department, Sergeant Jim Preston stated, &amp;quot;I have personally never heard of this in 13 years.&amp;quot; Apparently the frozen ribs came from the Swift Packing Plant in Greeley, Colorado. The date on the package is a year old, June 8, 2011.

However, a big problem is that the gun was cleaned off before the police got involved. Sergeant Preston is concerned that forensic evidence could have been erased. For now, the police have entered the gun into the National Crime Information Center database in order to conduct a trace on the gun. This process could take weeks. In the meantime, the Greeley police force is looking into crimes that the gun could have been involved in back in Colorado. No word yet on the fate of those frozen ribs. Do you think someone attempted to hide the gun in the box of ribs? Or was the gun accidentally placed in the package?
