A federal jury in Jackson, Mississippi has convicted Lennell Antonio Moore, Jr., 28, of illegal machinegun possession.
According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Moore was stopped by Capitol Police for a traffic violation on October 2, 2025. During the stop, officers conducted a probable cause search of the vehicle and located three Glocks pistols with attached machinegun conversion devices (MCDs a/k/a switches).
Two of the pistols were found in the center console, directly next to Moore, along with a drum magazine that held approximately 40-rounds of ammunition.
Moore is scheduled to be sentenced on January 28, 2026. He faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Moore is currently being held in federal custody.
The case was investigated by the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Capitol Police Department, and the Jackson Police Department.
Prosecution of the case was handled by Assistant United States Attorneys Matt Allen and Amber Jones.
The case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative aimed at combating violent crime and protecting communities from perpetrators.
