    Law enforcement conducted a controlled delivery of the suppressor to Unocic.

    The delivery was immediately followed by the execution of a search warrant at Unocic’s residence in Cheyenne, which resulted in the seizure of multiple firearms, ammunition, and the suppressor.

    This crime was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations, the United States Postal Inspection Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

    The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michael J. Elmore.
