When they arrived on the scene, according to the police statement, she produced a permit for possessing the handgun. But it was not valid in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deville, 29, reportedly purchased the weapon for personal protection after a 24-year-old man\u00a0allegedly attempted to kidnap her during a 2020 home break-in, <em>TMZ<\/em> reported, citing sources. The gun is registered in Florida, Deville\u2019s home state.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Deville was released on a summons after being charged with unlawful possession of a weapon.
