Cop-killer guns
A 36-year-old man police say was a member of a white supremacist gang, a sex offender and has a history of being violent toward law enforcement, was arrested Jan. 7th at Burien's Fred Meyer parking lot after allegedly trying to illegally sell guns that he boasted could penetrate body armor worn by police.
The suspect stated the guns are known as "cop killer" guns because of the "special rounds it fires."
During an interview at police headquarters, the man and his 29-year-old girlfriend said there were two handguns in the glove compartment and a laptop case full of stolen mail and other fraudulent documents locked in the trunk of his vehicle.
He also admitted to making fake bank checks for friends. He hasn't been charged with gun crimes, but he was charged this month with failing to register as a sex offender and has a pending 2009 King County Superior Court case for possession of a stolen vehicle.
Court records show the man has a lengthy criminal history with 10 felony convictions, four gross misdemeanors convictions and one misdemeanor conviction. At the time of the arrest he had 2 felony warrants.
