A Fresno man pleaded guilty in federal court to being a felon in possession of ammunition in connection with his possession of a loaded ghost gun.
Driving the news: Last September, Donald Henderson, 30, made arrangements to sell a rifle to an undercover police officer in Clovis while believing the undercover officer to be a prostitute.
- Henderson fled when officers arrived on the scene, leading them in a high-speed chase, during which he threw a rifle out of the window.
- The rifle was a ghost gun with a loaded high-capacity magazine. Henderson was already prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition because of prior felony convictions, including for burglary and illegal possession of a firearm.
What we’re watching: Henderson will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Kirk Sherriff on June 23.
- He faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
