Felon sentenced for possessing dozens of firearms, meth

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A Washington man was sentenced in federal court to almost five years in prison for illegally possessing firearms and trafficking meth. Daniel Ague Masters was prohibited from having firearms because of a felony conviction. But officials found two dozen guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his underground bunker and garage in Rainer. The firearms included a submachine gun and a rifle with a high-capacity magazine. Sources told officials that Masters traded meth for stolen firearms. Masters pleaded guilty in 2019 to the firearms charge and possession of meth with intent to distribute. A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced him to 57 months in prison.
