A federal grand jury in Kansas City has indicted N’Darius Sullivan, 24, of Kansas City, Kansas, on two counts of making false statements during separate firearm purchases. According to court documents, Sullivan is accused of providing false written information to a licensed firearms dealer in 2024 to obtain two Glock Model 22 .40 caliber pistols. Authorities allege that on both occasions he claimed not to be buying the firearms for another person.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is conducting the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jabari Wamble is prosecuting the case.
