South Pole nabbed on illegal firearms possession

Andrew Golota was charged Thursday night with illegal possession of firearms after Chicago police were called to his home by a 911 call from two women, police said.

Golota, 38, was charged with 12 counts of possessing unregistered firearms, the Chicago Tribune reports.

The troubled boxer’s Firearm Owner’s Identification Card had been revoked, a department spokeswoman said.

He has a July 19 court date.

Apparently, the two women who ratted the boxer out were new acquaintances. After they left his household, they called law enforcement to alert cops about the gun stash. Also, cops say, the women made other allegations about Golota, but specifics have not been released.
