Alleged ‘ghost gun’ maker arrested after materials are found in Sacramento and Woodland
Police arrested a man this week after locating items related to “ghost gun” manufacturing at a home in Sacramento and related storage unit in Woodland.
Patrol officers noticed the equipment while responding to a disturbance call Thursday morning in the 7400 block of Carella Drive in Meadowview, the Sacramento Police Department said in a Facebook post Friday.
Police detectives and agents with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives located the suspect, 38-year-old Nicolas Gray, and identified a storage unit linked to Gray in Woodland, the post said.
Serving a warrant at the storage unit, authorities found “several completed firearms, evidence of manufacturing firearms, and ammunition,” the Police Department wrote.
The weapons included commercial firearms as well as “privately manufactured firearms,” aka ghost guns.
Gray was arrested and faces charges of manufacturing an assault weapon and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
The Woodland Police Department and Yolo County District Attorney’s Office also assisted with the investigation, Sacramento police said.
