An alleged victim of domestic violence in Florida was arrested and charged with armed burglary after she removed her estranged husband’s guns from his residence and brought them to a police department for safekeeping.
The case exemplifies the practical challenges of disarming domestic abusers, especially in a state like Florida where almost one-third of the population owns firearms.
On June 14, Courtney Irby was in court with her husband for a divorce hearing. According to an arrest affidavit, Joseph Irby followed his wife as she left the courthouse and began ramming his car into the back of her vehicle, ultimately driving her off the road. She called police “uncontrollably crying and advised that she was in fear for her life,” the affidavit reads. She also disclosed that she’d had a number of protective orders against her husband in the past.Police arrested Joseph Irby and charged him with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Courtney Irby applied for a temporary injunction for protection.
The next morning, she testified at her husband’s hearing over the phone. A judge granted Joseph Irby pretrial release with the condition that he not own, possess or carry firearms. Hearing this, Courtney Irby went to her husband’s residence and located his two guns ― an assault rifle and a handgun ― and took them to Lakeland Police Department.
According to court documents, she told the police officer on duty that her husband had been arrested the day before, and that she wanted to hand in his guns because she didn’t believe he would turn them in.
The police officer asked if she had taken her husband’s firearms without his permission. When she replied yes, he told her that she was confessing to a crime. Police arrested her and she was charged with armed burglary of a dwelling and grand theft of a firearm.
Lakeland Police Department did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.

While Joseph Irby was released the day after his domestic violence arrest, Courtney Irby spent five nights and six days behind bars before being granted bond.
Her lawyer, Lawrence Shearer, told HuffPost that his client was upset and distressed. He said that her actions did not amount to theft under Florida law because she was not taking the guns for herself but rather transferring them to the police department, where her husband could collect them at a later date.
“Theft is to deprive someone of the right or benefit of property,” he said. “She didn’t do either one of those. She was taking them to the police department for safekeeping.”
Shearer added: “I have faith in our state attorney’s office that they will do the right thing.”
The issue of disarming domestic abusers has been a key priority for gun safety groups over the past five years. In Florida, like many states, when a domestic abuser is ordered not to own firearms, there is no mechanism to ensure the perpetrator gives them up ― a loophole called the “relinquishment gap.”
The research is clear: When abusers are armed, their victims are far more likely to be killed. In the U.S., a woman is shot to death by an intimate partner every 16 hours. There are an estimated 200 domestic violence deaths in Florida each year. States that mandate alleged domestic violence perpetrators to hand over their firearms ― instead of just telling them no guns allowed ― experience fewer homicides.
Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, said Florida police could also have sought a risk protection order to remove Joseph Irby’s guns, thanks to a “red flag” law passed by state legislators after the Parkland shooting.
“Instead, they jailed a domestic abuse victim and mother without bail for attempting to keep her family safe,” Watts said. “This man - who poses a clear danger to his family - currently has access to his arsenal.”
Alleged: Declared but not proven. Why read any more than the first 2 words of this article when you know the rest is nothing but conjecture, opinion and BULLSHIT?
FYI: Stealing is still stealing regardless of any attempt to justify that theft. This "female" was not protected via a marriage vow after she engaged in the process of divorce. The law must treat her as any other citizen. No citizen has the right to self declare "vigilante" justice. She was not a representative of the court nor any law enforcement agency. Regardless of any court order or conditions established via the court.....when she confessed to going TO THE RESIDENCE OF HER HUSBAND (estranged by that time)….and taking private property, SHE COMMITTED A CRIME.
Anyone can see why this marriage did not work out.....and I am of the opinion that it had nothing to do with spousal abuse.

Yeah, nothing about spousal abuse.
He rammed her car with his in the parking lot. Several restraining orders. A court order to not possess weapons. Arrested for domestic abuse.
Fucking moron.

I agree that this was reported PREVIOUSLY; but she wasn't even physically present, at the last one, and took it upon herself to act.
Choices have consequences, for both sides.

Groaning little Trumpturd punk still has that cock up his rectum.
Aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Domestic abuse. Court order that he could not possess weapons.
That rectal cock is fucking up your mental capacity, groaner. But, as a conservative, that cognitive ability is limited going in.
I’ve kicking your halfwitted conservatives’ ass all over this forum, punk. You’re no different. Just another two bit parrot with nothing but bullshit as your frame of reference.
Run off, sonny. Your mommy is calling.
So, you claim that he is a convicted abuser.
I pointed out that being arrested and charged with something is not a conviction and you come back with cock and boy fantasies?
There appears no means to do so.. Fla needs to do some work on their laws?

AGAIN, restraining orders, arrests, and charges are not convictions. That is why we have judges and juries.
& yet you read the whole damn thing & then whinned about it, as you do every thread you post in.
It says that, as any dummy like you should know for legal reasons.........
Violated a court order to not possess firearms. Arrested twice. Domestic abuse. Aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Several restraining orders.
Amazing you ignorant fucking barrel strokers support possession of firearms for domestic abusers. Says a lot about you miserable cunts.
Loser
Court order to not possess any firearms, Third time in jail in a couple weeks?
Not a fucking jury that will convict her. Won't even get that far.
Amazing the lengths you cocksucking barrel strokers wil go. Even to the extent of ignoring domestic abuse and court orders.
Losers.

That's what I figured. And what's to keep him from just temporarily giving them to a friend and getting them back when he's ready to kill her?

The court order was never violated. His guns were stolen before he had a chance to surrender them. Have you noticed that you really suck at debating?
Domestic abuse apologist. You REALLY think a guy that committed aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and domestic abuse is going to surrender them? What a fucking fool.
NOBODY charged with those crimes has any business with firearms around. If he’s found not guilty, he can get them back. In the meantime, her personal safety trumps his need to possess another deadly weapon.
Sad that you fucking barrel strokers apologize for domestic violence just so you can have your little popguns.
Not a fucking jury in the world will convict her. Won’t even get that far.

Nobody is defending domestic violence you laughable cunt. Being charged is not the same as being convicted dumbfuck. You don't believe in due process? And why would she need to fear a "popgun"? Stupid fuck.
