TULSA, Okla. – A chilling case emerges as Andrew Scott Hastings, 25, of Tulsa, appears in federal court charged with Attempting to Provide Material Support or Resources to Designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Illegal Possession or Transfer of a Machinegun.

Court documents show Hastings shipped packages containing the 3-D printed switches and handgun parts. He agreed to discharge from the Guard in June 2025 during the investigation.
The case is being investigated by the FBI Oklahoma City – Tulsa Resident Agency Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Army Counterintelligence Command, ATF, and the Tulsa Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Nathan E. Michel, Matthew P. Cyran, and Christopher J. Nassar are leading the prosecution with support from Trial Attorney Elisa Poteat.
