Former San Diego sheriff’s captain, four others indicted in connection with illegal gun sales
Former San Diego County Sheriff’s Capt. Marco Garmo and four other men were indicted Friday by the U.S. attorney’s office in an illegal-gun-sales case that involved more than 140 transactions over six years, including for two years after the career lawman was warned about his practices.
Federal prosecutors said the former sheriff’s captain illegally bought and sold about 146 guns fromMarch 2013 to last February, regularly certifying that he was the “actual transferee/buyer” on state-mandated disclosures.But over the same period, Garmo transferred approximately 93 of those firearms to third parties through federal firearms licenses and transferred even more weapons without going through the federal licensing process, the indictment states.
Garmo said at the time that he was simply a gun hobbyist who was unaware that he needed a federal license to buy and sell so many weapons. “He played by all the rules, but he did too many” transactions, Gore said. “They were all registered by the Department of Justice; that’s how we found out about them. We don’t let other people say ignorance of the law is an excuse, and that’s why we disciplined him.”
