Canadian Citizen Pleads Guilty to Illicit Firearm Possession
A Canadian man has admitted to possessing a firearm as an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Minnesota.
Muzamil Aden Addow, 30, pleaded guilty to the charges on [date] announced Acting U.S. Attorney W. Anders Folk.
On January 10, 2021, Addow and his co-defendant Dayne Adrian Sitladeen, 29, were stopped by a Minnesota State Patrol Trooper near Fergus Falls, Minnesota. The defendants were traveling at 95-100 miles per hour in a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck with Texas license plates.
When the Trooper approached the vehicle, Addow provided an Ontario, Canada, driver’s license with a false name.
The Trooper detected the odor of marijuana in the vehicle and received suspicious and inconsistent statements from Addow and Sitladeen, which led to a search of the vehicle.
Law enforcement officers recovered a total of 67 firearms and numerous pistol magazines, including 15 high-capacity pistol magazines, from four bags in the truck—one pistol magazine was partially loaded with live ammunition rounds.
This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Minnesota State Patrol.
Addow’s case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Samantha Bates.
