Battle Ground, WA – In a shocking turn of events, 44-year-old Lynn Manley Cargile, an avowed White Supremacist, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for two federal felonies related to illegal firearms possession.
According to the indictment, Cargile was arrested on December 26, 2019, following a six-hour stand-off with police after his ex-wife called 9-1-1 to report that she had been assaulted.
When officers entered the home to secure it for officer safety, they noted numerous firearms, including a Smith and Wesson AR-15 style rifle with a swastika on the rifle butt and a Black Rain Ordinance short-barreled rifle.
Investigators also found two silencers, which are illegal under federal law unless properly registered in the National Firearms and Transfer Record.
Cargile is prohibited from possessing firearms due to prior felony convictions in Clark County, Washington for attempting to elude (2002 and 2003) and illegal firearms possession (1999 and 2002).
The indictment charges Cargile with being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of unregistered firearms, both of which are punishable by up to ten years in prison.
The case was investigated by the Battle Ground Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF), and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Angelica Williams.
