Your link didn't work. Seems to just be click bait to get you to go on this asshole's page.

You need to put more information about who this is and the circumstances, otherwise it's clickbait

I assume it's this, as your post is from 2009

A former soldier has become the latest victim of the predatory UK police state after he was arrested and convicted by a jury for handing in a shotgun to his local police station after discovering it in his garden. The man faces 5 years in jail due to draconian gun control laws that dictate members of the public cannot even touch a gun without being charged with “possession of a firearm”.
“Paul Clarke, 27, was found guilty of possessing a firearm at Guildford Crown Court on Tuesday – after finding the gun and handing it personally to police officers on March 20 this year. The jury took 20 minutes to make its conviction, and Mr Clarke now faces a minimum of five year’s imprisonment for handing in the weapon,” reports Surrey Today.
In a statement read out in court, Mr Clarke said: “I didn’t think for one moment I would be arrested.”
“I thought it was my duty to hand it in and get it off the streets.”"


He was given a 12 month suspended sentence, so he didn't go to prison, let alone 5 years.
