More details to this question:
My ex was charged with possession of firearm prohibited as well as false imprisonment and simple assault. Police do not have the gun so how does that charge work? I don't fully understand the false imprisonment and simple assault charges either. Truthfully, they are going to subpoena me and frankly I want nothing to do with any of this anymore. I do need to understand the charges though.

Because someone or some thing told them that he possessed a firearm and unlawfully restrained someone causing or attempting to cause them bodily injury. Harder to prove if they didnt recover the gun but not impossible. Throwing the gun in the lake isnt the defense people think it is.
