Federal agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives found that between February 2020 and August 2021, English applied for 36 firearms purchase permits. She applied for seven more in September 2021, when agents approached her for an interview.

English admitted to ATF agents that he would use the permits to buy guns, which he would then resell to people who were prohibited from owning or purchasing their own firearms.

According to court records, English said she sold between 15 and 20 guns since January 2021. She told the ATF that most of the transactions were local, but she also went to New Jersey, where she sold several guns she had bought from Charlotte.

English pleaded guilty Oct. 31 to trafficking in firearms without a license. She is out on bond but will go to jail when a location is determined. After completing her prison sentence, English will serve one year of supervised release.
