A Florida man has allegedly claimed that guns found in his car belonged to his cousin... John Wick (played by Keanu Reeves in the film franchise).
Getro Gelin, 27, from Port St. Lucie, was confronted by cops on Sunday (26 April) who asked for permission to search his Porsche SUV. When they did, they found a Glock 21 pistol, a semi-automatic rifle, and a bulletproof vest, according to The Smoking Gun.
When they asked about their discoveries, Gelin is claimed to have replied that 'he had sold the Porsche to his cousin John Wick'. This is either a coincidence, a lie, or Keanu Reeves has got a lot of explaining to be doing - Reeves, of course, plays the titular (and very much fictional) character in the films.

Gelin did later explain that he was lying and added that he 'would not reveal his cousin's name'.
Police were initially made aware of Gelin when a woman reported a domestic violence incident, claiming that a man shoved her to the ground and threatened her with a firearm.
She accused Gelin of being this man and believed that he might have stashed the weapon inside his vehicle.

The New York Post reports that Gelin was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and domestic battery and is being held in the county jail in lieu of $3,500 bond.
The police report, obtained by The Smoking Gun, stated: "Deputy Deblieck ran the VIN number to the vehicle, which revealed the vehicle belonged to Getro Gelin. Gelin wa again asked for consent to search the Porsche SUV, which he consented.
"Inside the rear compartment of the Grey Porsche SUV, Deputy Paterson located a Black Glock 21, a black semi-automatic rifle and a Kevlar Vest.
