MOORHEAD-A convicted felon from rural Clay County is in custody on suspicion of being a felon in possession of firearms after he allegedly called police to report his guns had been stolen.

William Bodin and his mother-in-law called the Clay County Sheriff's Department on June 6 to report several of their firearms had been taken from their property at 16678 3rd St. near Comstock, according to a search warrant filed Friday in Clay County District Court.

Deputies discovered that Bodin was convicted in May on a felony narcotics charge in North Dakota and was on probation for that offense.

Bodin's Facebook profile revealed he had also changed his profile picture June 7 to a picture of two black-scoped rifles.

Deputies conducted a search at the home and seized 11 guns and several boxes of ammunition, the search warrant states.
