A West Covina man with a criminal record was charged in federal court last week after he was found with a half-kilo of methamphetamine and an assortment of firearms.
As announced by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Edwin Francisco Reyes, 44, was arrested by the Chino Police Department on March 2 and charged with a drug trafficking offense last Wednesday.
While the affidavit is not available, authorities contend Reyes was arrested following delivery of a search warrant on the home he shared with his wife and children. The search turned up 532 grams of meth and a collection of 28 firearms. The guns, as disclosed in a social media post by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, included what looks to be a homemade suppressor with a Mickey Mouse wrap, AR-15 rifles, SBRs, unassembled lowers, and other items. While Reyes is a convicted felon barred from firearms possession, it should also be noted that civilian ownership of NFA-regulated suppressors is typically banned under California state law.
It is not clear if the government will pursue weapons charges
