Former Baldwin Park cop gets more ink

David Gunderson, a former Baldwin Park patrol cop who moved on to Adelanto then Blue Lake, where he became chief, is the subject of an LA Times story that paints an interesting picture of his ongoing legal troubles:

The Blue Lake police force was armed on a par with a big-city SWAT team. And no Blue Lakers knew until Police Chief David Gundersen's life began to very publicly unravel.

In February, Humboldt County sheriff's deputies arrested Gundersen on suspicion of crimes in his own bedroom.

Prosecutors have charged him with 33 counts, alleging that the chief repeatedly drugged his wife, a Blue Lake police sergeant, and forced her to have sex.

As investigators dug deeper into his private life, they discovered Gundersen's guns.

At home, he had a weapons cache that included a machine gun and a James Bond-style pistol with a silencer, both unregistered.

At police headquarters, he had enough weaponry to arm a small platoon.

Gundersen, 53, advertised his love of guns on a MySpace page for "Gundy Bros," with a photo of a machine gun, the words "LIVE, LAUGH . . . LOVE" and the offer of "Weapon Systems/Sales and Services." In all, investigators seized 111 weapons -- nearly a quarter of them from his home.

Crime Scene made a short mention of Gundersen back in March. Up in Eureka, the Times-Standard (where this picture originally appeared) has kept on top of the story. meanwhile, I'm still trying to find Baldwin Park officers who remember Gundersen...
