Firefighter facing more weapons charges
DENVER (AP) - A Denver firefighter already facing charges for allegedly selling illegal machine guns was indicted on 19 additional counts of illegal firearm sales.
Stan Ford, 36, was indicted Tuesday for dealing in firearms without a license, dating back to 2001, according to court documents that were made public Wednesday.
He is accused of selling .22 caliber revolvers, a .380 caliber pistol, a 12-gauge shotgun and other weapons, the indictment states.
When Ford was arrested on the original machine gun charges in November, the arrest affidavit described him as having anti-U.S. sympathies and ties to an unnamed domestic terrorist organization.
Ford's attorney, Will Hood, has denied those allegations.
Last month Hood tried to get statements Ford made to the FBI thrown out because he claims they were coerced, but the judge denied the request.
Ford faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each of the new counts if convicted.
