ATF case remains sealed
Federal court documents in the case of Justin Flohr apparently remained sealed this week.A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office said on Tuesday that he was waiting for the prosecutor handling the case to brief him on the status of the matter.
Documents still could not be accessed through the court's online system on Tuesday afternoon.
Flohr, was arrested on a criminal complaint May 8. He is charged with possessing and transferring a machine gun, in violation of federal law.
Flohr initially appeared in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in Alexandria May 9. He also had a preliminary and detention hearing on May 13, and was released on his own recognizance.
Edgar Dominic, the ATF agent in charge, of the case confirmed last week that Flohr and another man whose name has not been released were both arrested on federal firearms charges as a result of an investigation led by his agency.
If convicted, Flohr could be fined and/or imprisoned for up to 10 years.
The investigation is ongoing.
