SAN DIEGO -- A Lake Elsinore man was indicted Wednesday by a Federal Grand Jury in San Diego on charges of possession of unregistered machine guns, federal authorities said.
Jason Hilliard, 36, was arrested last month in the Pacific Beach area, according to Special Agent Michael Hoffman of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Los Angeles Field Division.Officers from the San Diego Police Department initially took him into custody after Hilliard crashed his car into another vehicle.Searching Hilliard's vehicle, officers discovered six guns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, a ski mask, duct tape and a large overcoat, Hoffman said.The officers contacted the ATF, who determined that four of the guns in Hilliard's vehicle were formerly semi-automatic weapons that had been converted into machine guns, Hoffman said.Hilliard faces 10 years in prison and fines of $250,000 for each of four felony counts.
