The U.S. Justice Department has announced a 21-count superseding indictment that charged 12 individuals with conspiring to violate federal firearms statutes after they trafficked over 90 guns from Tennessee and Kentucky areas into Chicago.
Among those charged, three were enlisted members of the U.S. Army at the time of the crime. Stationed at the Fort Campbell military installation in Clarksville, Tennessee, they were involved in the purchase and transfer of âdozens of firearms to the streets of Chicago,â an April 1 press release from the department said. The three individualsâDemarcus Adams, Brandon Miller, and Jarius Brunsonâwere arrested in May last year by agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives.
Nine of the remaining 12 individuals are members of the Gangster Disciples street gang based in the neighborhood of Pocket Town, Chicago.
