A former FBI analyst from South Carolina was arrested in Atlantic City after he allegedly tried to sell an assault rifle at a casino.
Larry Sypolt, 42, is in the Atlantic County Justice Facility after Detective Brian Hambrecht got information that a man was trying to sell an assault rifle, Sgt. Kevin Fair said.
Hambrecht was able to track him to the Ocean Casino Resort, according to the report.
Sgt. James Herbert found Sypolt in his vehicle in the casino's self-park garage.
Sypolt was found with a handgun and the rifle, which had a large-capacity magazine, pistol grip and flash suppressor, Fair said.
Sypolt, who is from Columbia, S.C., was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, unlawful possession of an assault rifle, and possession of a large-capacity magazine.
Note: The Atlantic County Justice Facility no longer provides mugshots to the media, citing the Atlantic County prosecutor’s order. The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office says it’s part of the Attorney General’s Guidelines. There is no such guideline, according to the Attorney General’s Office, but they have told these offices for years that they should not release any photos that appear to be mugshots.
