The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana charged Mohamed H.M. Zeidan, a 33-year-old Palestinian, on Thursday with possessing two guns—an MC9 semi-automatic pistol and a RF-15 semi-automatic rifle—as an illegal alien.
Zeidan, who is also known as Sebastian Marcello and Sebastian York, faces up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and up to three years of supervised released and a fee of $100, the Justice Department said on Friday.
Federal prosecutors said that Zeidan possessed the weapons on or around Aug. 3, 2023.
