A New Mexico man has been charged with trafficking firearms into Connecticut, according to authorities.
Timothy Gregory, 42, of Questa, New Mexico, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Hartford on six counts of firearms trafficking offenses.
Gregory was arrested on July 18, 2024, in Eugene, Oregon, and has been detained since then.
According to court documents, an FBI New Haven Safe Streets Gang Task Force investigation revealed that Gregory had offered to sell and ship firearms to an individual in Connecticut who is prohibited from possessing firearms.
In May 2024, Gregory mailed a parcel containing a Glock 42 .380 caliber pistol and three magazines to Connecticut. In June 2024, he mailed a .223 caliber AR15-style rifle and two empty 30-round magazines to Connecticut.
The indictment charges Gregory with two counts of firearms trafficking, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 15 years on each count; two counts of unlawful transfer of firearms to an out-of-state residence, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of five years on each count; and two counts of mailing nonmailable firearms, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of two years on each count.
Gregory also indicated he had approximately 300 additional firearms, some which were fully automatic, to sell, as well as six hand grenades, according to authorities.
