[GeorgiaModerate]

Frederick County Charles Jenkins and local gun dealer Robert Krop are accused of falsifying statements on multiple documents using sheriff’s office letterhead requesting machine guns for “demonstration” in order to rent them out to customers, according to federal prosecutors.

In a Wednesday press release, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland announced that a federal grand jury returned a six-count indictment charging Jenkins, 66, and Robert Justin Krop, 36, with conspiracy and false statements in order to acquire machine guns. Krop was also charged with illegal possession of machine guns.

Jenkins is part of the "constitutional sheriff" movement that contends that federal and state governments are subordinate to local sheriffs and police when it comes to local matters.

"in order to rent then out to customers" ? !
Were their intentions to get them to hard-right, gun-nuts or something ? (Their "customers")
What a scary story that a sheriff in our nation would do this.
