According to court documents, Bloodsoe and his co-conspirators used social media to advertise the stolen firearms for sale, which included sales to individuals who were prohibited by law from possessing firearms. Bloodsoe admitted to selling a Glock handgun to a juvenile.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Stefan C. Hughes. It was investigated by the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Bloodsoe was ordered to pay $1,500 in restitution, for which all defendants in this case are jointly and severally liable.
