A Houston man was indicted on federal charges Thursday for allegedly possessing a bump stock, marking the first known case in the country since the Trump administration banned the devices earlier this year.
Authorities caught up with Dhingra after he allegedly left a"concerning message" with the George Bush Foundation, according to the DOJ. A Secret Service investigation led authorities to the man's home, where they found 277 rounds of 9 mm ammunition, a Glock pistol and a Colt rifle with a bump stock attached.
"The four-count indictment, returned yesterday, alleges Ajay Dhingra possessed a machine gun, made two materially false statements in the acquisition of two firearms and unlawfully possessed a firearm after having been adjudicated as a mental defective or who had been committed to a mental institution," the statement said.
