"account" appears to be a simple autocorrect typo of "count" since the other half of the sentence is about "count"

No, I'm saying the word "count" doesn't appear in the quote in the article.

This is the quote from the article:

> > A week later, on August 23, the officers returned and arrested him on suspicion of possessing a firearm

You falsely added "[count]" to the quote and then argued about the count, which isn't in the quote.
