Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Wednesday that former FBI agent Scott Chiang has been charged with multiple counts of criminal possession of a weapon, after police found what she described as an “arsenal” of illegal ghost guns and other firearms.
Chiang, 53, of Peck Avenue in Queens Village, was arraigned Friday on a 242-count criminal complaint, which charges him with criminal possession of a weapon in the first, second, third and fourth degrees, endangering the welfare of a child, and several other crimes.
According to a Queens DA press release, members of the DA’s Crime Strategies & Intelligence Bureau conducted a long-term investigation into the Chiang’s online purchase of polymer-based, unserialized firearm components. The DA said those components can easily be assembled into operable firearms that are untraceable.
In totally unrelated news, an ex-FBI agent was arrested last week for having an arsenal of ghost guns.
