Cincinnati Man Pleads Guilty to Selling Machine Gun

A Cincinnati man has pleaded guilty to selling a machine gun and possessing a firearm within 1,000 feet of a local high school, according to a court document received by Grimy Times.

Antonio White, 19, of Cincinnati, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to three separate gun crimes: attempted firearm trafficking, illegal possession of a machine gun, and possession of a firearm in a school zone.

According to court documents, throughout the course of the investigation, White sold 11 firearms, one machine gun conversion device, a bulletproof vest, two extended pistol magazines, and a 50-round drum.

White believed the firearms were being trafficked out-of-state to have their serial numbers obliterated and sold to gang members. For example, in April 2024, White sold undercover agents a pistol with a ‘switch’ machine gun conversion device. The firearm was an untraceable ‘ghost gun’ that had no serial number.

Moreover, White exited Dohn Community High School on 4th Street in Cincinnati while possessing a pistol in April 2024.

White was arrested in May 2024. He faces up to 15 years in prison and up to five years consecutive to that. Congress sets maximum statutory sentences, and sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the Court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors at a future hearing.

The case is an example of the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to combat gun trafficking and keep communities safe.

Grimy Times will continue to monitor the case and provide updates on any developments.
