Springfield Man Sentenced for Illicit Firearms
A Springfield man, Andrew Rogers, 40, has been sentenced to 72 months in federal prison for illegally possessing and manufacturing over 100 semi-automatic firearms and silencers.
On June 30, 2022, investigators with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Lane County Sheriff’s Office searched Rogers’ residence and found 62 complete semi-automatic firearms, 45 silencers, several incomplete firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and hundreds of firearm components.
Rogers’ wife estimated there were more than 100 firearms in the residence and that Rogers had manufactured most, if not all, of the firearms in his possession. Investigators also found psilocybin, methamphetamine, a drill press, firearm manufacturing tools, and a 3D printer with a partially printed part for an AR15 rifle.
In addition to the firearms and related items found at Rogers’ residence, a search of his storage unit in Springfield, Oregon yielded 26 pistols, five rifles, four suppressors, and an assortment of firearm parts.
Rogers was also found to be in possession of methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, a knife, and a semi-automatic pistol without an identifiable serial number during a traffic stop on June 30, 2022.
The same morning, Rogers was arrested and charged by criminal complaint with possessing controlled substances with the intent to distribute, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, and unlawful possession of unregistered silencers.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Lane County Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Adam E. Delph, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.
Andrew Rogers, whose exact charges were possessing controlled substances with the intent to distribute, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, and unlawful possession of unregistered silencers, was sentenced to 72 months in federal prison and three years’ supervised release.
This case serves as a reminder of the importance of enforcing firearms laws and combating the illicit manufacture and distribution of firearms.
