According to court documents, 57-year-old Milford Washington sold seven silencers to the undercover agent in 2022, and at the time of his arrest, was prepared to ship 13 more silencers to the Star City.
In addition to selling and shipping the silencers, Washington also sold around 800 counterfeit Percocet pills to the ATF, according to the DOJ. Some of those pills were designed to appear like authentic prescription meds, but further analysis showed the presence of fentanyl.
Earlier this year, Washington pleaded guilty to transporting an unregistered silencer in interstate commerce.
Washington was sentenced to 72 months in federal prison on Thursday, officials said.
