A Bremen man was sentenced this week in U.S. District Court on a charge of conspiracy to sell and dispose of one or more firearms, including handgun revolvers for sale, to an unlawful user of controlled substances.
United States Attorney Thomas L. Kirsch II says 48-year-old Charles Hartsell met a male associate at the Four Winds Casino, which is located on tribal land owned by the Pokagan Band of Potawatomi Indians, and the transfer of firearms took place. Hartsell and the associate then drove to South Bend to meet a known drug user, according to the report. A sale of the firearms was attempted, but it did not go through. However, the report states that the pair did purchase heroin and methamphetamine from the man. Kirsch says the men returned to the casino grounds and were apprehended by Pokagan Band tribal police officers where the firearms were recovered.
