A deputy mayor of a city in New York state faces federal charges after authorities discovered unregistered firearms and bogus badges for federal agencies, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday.
I wonder who he shared his collection with that turned him in?
Authorities later executed a search warrant on his home and found at least 13 illegal suppressors and 16 unregistered assault weapons, including a short-barrel rifle and sawed-off shotgun.
The firearms were displayed on a rack in a room of Downey’s house, which authorities dubbed the “Gun Room,” according to the complaint. Alongside the illegal firearms, law enforcement officers also found a small locked box, to which Downey claimed he did not have the combination.
After forcing the box open, it contained “numerous federal badges and credentials” bearing Downey’s name from various agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Justice Department’s Bureau of Prisons, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
