The Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest of three Gonzales men on assault weapons charges.
Police conducted an investigation after receiving information that Bryan Arceneaux, 28, could possibly have a fully automatic AK-47 assault rifle.
Investigators discovered a homemade video featuring the suspect’s brother, Blake Arceneaux, 22, and a mutual friend, Joshua Cole Stevens, 30, firing the machine gun, which is illegal.
The video also showed a camouflaged military style ballistic vest.
A forensic analyst examined Bryan Arceneaux’s cellphone and found a deleted email from a website that sells gun parts. The email showed that Bryan Arceneaux had purchased a part to convert the AK-47 to fully automatic, making the gun illegal.
