Port Lavaca, Texas - A 31-year-old man was arrested Tuesday by federal agents and sheriff's officials acting on a tip that the convicted burglar had a rocket launcher.
Paul Henry Ledwik was arrested without incident on a felon in possession of firearms warrant issued by a federal judge in Corpus Christi.
"It's a shoulder firearm, a one-time rocket launcher," federal agent Rick Miller said. "You use it once and throw it away. To my knowledge, there's no way to reload it. It wouldn't fire again."
Members of the Sheriff's Office SWAT team and ATF agents seized the launcher, four rifles, a handgun and several boxes of ammunition.
