Tyler J. Sumlin (Army Veteran) and SFC Jason W. Jarvis, have been indicted for attempting to sell explosives and firearms. They didn’t just try to sell these weapons “right on the spot”. These were weapons drawn from an Army base, intended for sale out of state\u2026 And out of country.<\/p>\n

Both directly, or indirectly, had access to these weapons, and managed to get these weapons into their possessions.<\/p>\n

Then, one of the defendants drove their load of weapons to the other defendant’s residence. They consolidated what they intended to sell, cleaned them, and then loaded them into containers. From there, they drove from Florida to Texas.<\/p>\n

They met with people they thought were going to purchase their weapons. On top of that, they knew that these individuals were going to go into Mexico with the weapons that they were about to sell.<\/p>\n

Instead, the dealers, that they thought they were going to sell the weapons to, ended up being undercover agents that arrested them.<\/p>\n

From the indictment:<\/span><\/p>\n
