A federal grand jury in Topeka has indicted Charles E. Colbert Jr., a 26-year-old resident of Wichita, on firearms-related charges. According to court documents, Colbert faces one count of illegal possession of a machine gun and one count of being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is leading the investigation into the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Katie Andrusak is prosecuting.

Authorities emphasized that "an indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law."
