NYPD charges Georgia family with selling 155 guns to undercover Brooklyn cop
A Georgia man, his wife and other family members have been charged with selling 155 guns, including an AR-15 assault rifle and other automatic weapons, transported in road trips up the Interstate 95 corridor over seven months to an undercover police officer in Brooklyn, authorities announced Wednesday.
Michael Brewer Quick, 32, of LaGrange, was one of six charged in a 558-count indictment with selling more than $126,000 worth of firearms bought or stolen in Georgia, including one sale of 25 firearms in a suitcase for $20,000, by far the single largest illegal gun buy in New York Police Department history, said Police Commissioner William J. Bratton and Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth P. Thompson at a news conference.
“We are going to hold Mr. Quick and his family responsible for dumping these guns on the streets of Brooklyn,” Thompson said.
