Cincinnati, Ohio – Ronnell Aaron Clay, 21, and Taviyon Broussard, 20, both of Cincinnati, have pleaded guilty in separate cases to illegally possessing machinegun conversion devices known as Glock switches.

Clay also used his Instagram account to promote the sale of Glock switches in the Cincinnati area.
• Broussard's case came to light when he was found in possession of a modified firearm on November 8, 2022, using a 3D-printed Glock conversion device.
• The illegal possession of fully automatic weapons is a federal crime, carrying a potential penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
