PEORIA, Ill. – A teenager from Washington got nowhere near what he could have received after pleading guilty to Possession of Machine Guns.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Zavien Ross, 19, was given a sentence of 27 months in prison Wednesday, followed by three years on parole.
Prosecutors say in November of last year, federal ATF agents made two undercover purchases of 3D-printed Glock switches and one 3D-printed auto sear designed for an AR-15.
Ross was arrested later that month after he had a gun in his car.
A search of his home allegedly turned up more switches and other devices.
Ross – who allegedly had counterfeit money and forged checks on him while he was out on bond – could have received up to ten years in prison.
He also still faces weapons charges in Peoria County.
