A Missouri man will spend five years in prison after admitting he sold guns and marijuana to undercover federal agents in Kansas City last year.
Antonio Rodriguez Robertson, 21, pleaded guilty in September to one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. In return, federal prosecutors dismissed 13 other drug and gun trafficking charges from an indictment filed in April.
According to court documents, Robertson sold undercover agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives small amounts of marijuana and multiple guns — including a 9mm Glock Model 17 pistol for $450, a 9mm Glock Model 19 pistol for $625, a Taurus 9mm pistol for $450, a .40 caliber Glock pistol for $700, an AR rifle DPMS Model 15 rifle for $1,100 — at a gas station in Kansas City in September 2017.
