• 6 pistols
• 11 rifles
• WWII Machine gun
• over a 1,000 rounds of ammunition
• Approximately 150 magazines
• Approximately 50 high capacity magazines
• several items of White Supremacist paraphernalia
The three suspects arrested at the location were 54 year-old Littlerock resident Todd Hunt, 33 year-old Littlerock resident Royce Gresham and 62 year-old Littlerock resident Larry Finnell.
All three suspects were transported and booked at the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station. Hunt was booked on charges of Possession of an Assault weapon with a bail amount of $35,000.
