(Daily Mail) Hunter Biden tried to blame his missing handgun on Mexican workers at a Delaware supermarket he smeared as ‘shady’ and ‘prolly illegal’, according to a 2018 police report published for the first time this week.
The First Son made the controversial comments in October 2018 while being interviewed by state police looking for his handgun and bullets after his lover and brother’s widow Hallie Biden threw them in a public trash can at Janssens Supermarket in Wilmington, across the road from a high school.
The police search for the gun led to them obtaining Hunter’s gun purchase form, in which he lied about not being an addict – the criminal charge that he now faces in Delaware federal court. The trial is due to start on June 3.
The debacle was first revealed by news site Politico in 2021. But the police report, with all its embarrassing details, has now been published for the first time last among pre-trial filings by Delaware prosecutors.
In October 2018, Hallie Biden tossed a gun that she’d found in Hunter Biden’s pick-up truck. She was concerned he was going to kill himself with it, he told police later. She then went to retrieve it but it was gone
Hallie wrapped the gun in a plastic bag and put it in a trash can outside Janssen’s Market in Wilmington. Hunter tried to blame the missing gun on Mexican grocery store workers
It shows Delaware State Police wrote up Hallie for ‘stealing’ his Colt Cobra .38 handgun out of his truck and dumping it in the Janssens trash can on October 23 2018.
One officer wrote in his report that he interviewed Hunter at the supermarket later that day about who might have fished his gun out of the trash.
Hunter told the officer, Sergeant Vincent Clemons: ‘they have some shady people working at the market’ and gestured at two Mexican store workers adding that they were ‘prolly illegal’ – then brought up that his father is Joe Biden.
Hunter told Clemons that Hallie threw away the gun because she was scared he would kill himself.
Detective John Penrod sent his daughter to the same private Catholic high school as Hunter, Joe, and the late Beau Biden: Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware, where tuition fees are currently $34,100 per year
He denied he was suicidal, but whined that ‘he has been living in a nightmare’ and told Clemons ‘to put myself in his shoes, and try to feel what it would be like to fall in love with [redacted, his brother’s widow Hallie] and then have everyone look at him.’
The report also says police got CCTV of Hallie appearing to dump the gun.
Clemons’s report says cops were worried because the supermarket is across the street from a high school ‘and we didn’t need a student to find the weapon’.
Intriguingly, the police report confirms that the FBI were involved in the case, helping go through the trash looking for the gun.
And Hunter’s texts, obtained by DailyMail.com from his abandoned laptop, suggest that a senior law enforcement officer who worked with the FBI was creating a back channel to the official investigation and recommending ways the Bidens could avoid getting in trouble with police.
Detective John Penrod is named in the police report as ‘DSP JTTF FBI Task Force’, an acronym for Delaware State Police Joint Terrorism Task Forces. According to the FBI, JTTFs consist of multiple agencies and work out of FBI offices.
Amid the incident, on October 23, 2018 Hunter texted Hallie: ‘And Hallie John Penrod: ‘Hallie have David call if something like this ever happens again (implying – next time Hunter f**ks Up)’.’
‘David’ is a reference to David I Walsh, the son of Joe Biden’s former law partner and decades-long friend David Walsh Sr. Texts on the laptop show Hunter was jealous and paranoid that Hallie was sleeping with Walsh Jr.

Texts from October 2018 show Hallie and Hunter arguing about the gun incident. ‘I need you to stop doing everything you possibly can do to make a life here an unbearable preposition,’ he told her
