New Orleans Man Caught with Machine Guns Gets 10 Years

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA – Lloyd Washington, a 26-year-old New Orleans resident, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for possession of machine guns and other firearms.

On July 20, 2020, New Orleans Police Department officers were dispatched to a call for service regarding an illegal discharge of a firearm in the 4100 block of Eagle Street, New Orleans, Louisiana.

Residents who lived next door to Washington reported a bullet entering their residence. No residents were struck by the bullet. Responding officers observed the trajectory of the points of entry and exit and concluded that the bullet likely originated from Washington’s residence.

Upon arriving at Washington’s residence, officers observed Washington standing inside of the residence. Washington was detained while officers conducted their investigation.

While searching the exterior of Washington’s residence, officers discovered two firearms with loaded magazines: a Ruger, model LCP, .380 caliber pistol, bearing serial number 371320740; and a Glock, model 22, .40 caliber pistol, bearing serial 00841MPD and equipped with a Glock switch converter. The firearms were located on the top of a slab of concrete.

Officers obtained a search warrant for Washington’s residence. During the search of the residence, the following items, including firearms and ammunition, were located: (1) a .40 caliber magazine with 4 live rounds of ammunition; (2) a box of .38 special ammunition containing 9 live rounds; (3) a box of .380 caliber ammunition containing 7 live rounds; (4) one 7.62x39mm magazine with an unknown number of live rounds; (5) one clear plastic bag containing multiple caliber rounds of ammunition; (6) a red duffle bag containing a rifle scope and a pistol grip; (7) a Glock, model 17, 9mm caliber pistol, bearing serial number BHBZ225; (8) a Glock switch convertor; (9) a box with live 9mm rounds; (10) a 7.62x39mm circle drum loaded with an unknown number of live rounds; (11) a box with 13 live 9mm rounds; (12) a Plainfield Machine Co., Paratrooper, .30 caliber rifle, bearing serial number 43211; (13) an Izhmash, model IJ70-17A, .380 caliber pistol, bearing serial number BTK3233; (14) a Heritage Mfg. Inc. model Rough Rider, .22 caliber pistol, bearing serial number R36814; and (15) a Taurus, model PT24/7 G2, .40 caliber pistol, bearing serial number SIM30213.

Upon release, Washington will be supervised by U.S. Probation for a period of three years. The Court did not impose a fine.
