Although none claimed possession of that semi-automatic gun, Bill Haney called the other person Haney’s “armed licensed security“. In his opinion, there has been a “misunderstanding” and things would certainly “work out” when “Devin goes to the court“. On the other hand, Adrien Broner, who claimed to have a personal relationship with the Haneys, felt that the other person should have taken charge of that concealed weapon the cops found. As a result, he took to Instagram and in one of his stories, wrote, “That’s p**sy, whoever was with Devin should have took that charge“.
