Jackson Felon Sentenced to 14 Years in Federal Prison for Using 3D-Printers to Manufacture Machineguns

 

Jackson, Miss. – A Jackson man was sentenced to 168 months in federal prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm and engaging in business as a manufacturer of firearms, announced U.S. Attorney Darren J. LaMarca and Acting Special Agent in Charge Anthony Spotswood of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

 

According to court documents, Kent Edward Newhouse, 41, possessed firearms on or about July 13, 2022 and July 20, 2022, and engaged in the business of manufacturing firearms from April to July 2022. In April 2022, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives discovered through a confidential informant that Newhouse was using 3D-printers to manufacture auto-sears, which are firearm components designed to cause semi-automatic firearms to function as fully automatic machineguns. Under federal law, auto-sears are themselves machineguns. On July 13, 2022, Newhouse sold a confidential informant a firearm and several auto-sears. On July 20, 2022, a search warrant was executed at Newhouse’s residence, where additional firearms and auto-sears were located. The government also obtained videos of Newhouse operating fully functional machineguns. Newhouse was previously convicted of felony sale of controlled substances in Madison County in 2009.

National Police Week 2023

 

FBI honors fallen law enforcement officers and employees during annual memorial observances

 

 

A candlelight vigil paying tribute to law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty drew thousands to the National Mall on May 14 in Washington, D.C. The solemn gathering was the signature event of National Police Week, an annual tribute to law enforcement officers across the U.S. who made the ultimate sacrifice.

 

The vigil came a few days after a Special Agent Memorial Service at FBI Headquarters honoring the memories of fallen FBI agents. As part of this event, Director Christopher Wray helped lay a wreath in the building’s courtyard on May 11 to honor the 92 Bureau employees who have lost their lives in the line of duty since 1925. In addition, two new names were added to the FBI's Wall of Honor: Supervisory Police Officer (Lt.) Yiu Tak "Louis" Tao and Supervisory Administrative Specialist Bryan A. Myers. Both died in 2022 from illnesses related to toxic air exposure during 9/11 recovery efforts.
