Thursday, February 23, 1989 The Arizona Republic K5 Arizona State University police Officer Charles Loftus displays weapons found In student Hans Momberger's dormitory room and truck. The 19-year-old could face disciplinary ViMfcflleair action ranging from probation to suspension from JeV'" Jr Jr -ai ASU, and could be expelled from the dormitory, said Art Carter the university's assistant dean of student life. OUR Mike BurgessSpecial for The Arizona Republic Student facing hearing in shooting 6f self; had 8 guns, 6 knives at ASU "I don't keep them in the dorm," he said. The 9mm pistol and another handgun were in the dorm room, Momberger said. The other weapons were locked in his pickup, which was parked on campus.

Momberger said he often takes target practice and has competed in shooting events. Jones said that the weapons were seized but that all but the 9mm handgun were returned. That weapon will be used as evidence to support the misdemeanor citation, he said. Jones said the other guns included two pellet guns, a Magnum, a Magnum, a revolver, a.22-caliber handgun and an AR-I5 semiautomatic assault rifle. 'Arizona State University police filed a complaint Wednesday against a 19-year-old student after eight guns, including a semiautomatic assault rifle, and six knives were found in his dormitory room and pickup truck.

Police discovered the weapons Friday after the student, Hans Mom-berger, 19, accidently shot himself in the hand while unloading a 9mm semiautomatic pistol. The incident occurred in his room at Hayden Hall, Sgt. Bob Jones, an ASU police spokesman, said. Momberger was treated at Tempe St. Luke's Hospital and released.

It is against university policy to have any weapon on campus, according to Art Carter, the university's assistant dean of student life. Carter said the complaint was filed with the university after the campus police completed their investigation. Momberger also has been cited by ASU police for discharging a firearm within city limits. If he is charged and convicted of the misdemeanor, he could receive a fine of as much as $750 and a four-month jail sentence. A university hearing on the matter has 'yet to be scheduled, Carter said.

Momberger could get probation, be expelled from the dormitory or suspended from ASU, he said. Momberger said that he keeps the guns at the home of a relative and that he had them Friday because he had planned to go to a shooting range during the weekend.

If found guilty, each of the defendants would face a prison term of nearly 914 years and $600,000 in fines. McNulty said that Alan Eve lost use of his arms and legs when he underwent surgery as a boy to remove a cyst on his spinal cord. quality hazardous-waste materials at Magic Metals Plating, formerly of 3632 W. Whitton Ave.

Each is charged with three counts of intentional disposal of hazardous wastes and one count of endanger-ment. In addition, the attorney general's office has filed court papers alleging that the crimes were "dangerous," thus subjecting the defendants to mandatory prison sentences if they are convicted in the case. The allegation of dangerousness is a provision of mandatory-sentencing laws adopted by Arizona lawmakers in 1978 to bring crime under control, but critics contend that this and other provisions give too much leverage to prosecutors in extracting guilty pleas from criminal defendants. Magic Metal Plating, also known as AAA Custom Plating, applied metal coatings to objects, such as chrome to car bumpers, and operated for about 10 years before going out of business in early 1987. The plating process involves the use of acidic and caustic liquids as well as solutions containing lead, nickel, chromium and cadmium.

QUADRIPLEGIC, from page Bl Eve, contends that Ronald's office has taken unfair advantage of mandatory-sentencing laws in an unsuccessful attempt to "coerce" a guilty plea from the defendant. "There are better things done with our tax dollars than prosecuting a quadriplegic," McNulty said. "I think it's outrageous that they're prosecuting my guy at all. "When you're a quadriplegic, what kind of threat is prison? Is prison supposed to be worse than being a quad?" Eve has been offered the chance to avoid prison by pleading guilty to a misdemeanor violation, but he has turned down the plea bargain because he does not think he has done anything wrong, McNulty said. "He was a bookkeeper and office manager," he said.

"He didn't have authority over alleged hazardous wastes." Eve, his brother, Ronald Eve, 39, and Michael Charles Clark, 35, also of Phoenix, were indicted April 25 by a state grand jury on four felony charges involving the abandonment of MINOLTA MAXXUM 0 "Best Value In Video!"
