Man allegedly in country illegally charged after AR-15-style rifle found outside hotel prior to march, report says

A Tunisian native allegedly in the U.S. illegally was charged Wednesday over an incident that involved an AR 15-style rifle with a bump stock being found outside an Indianapolis hotel before a popular women's march, The Indianapolis Star reported.

Security guards at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Indianapolis alerted police after they said they found firearms inside a truck that belonged to Ahmed Alaklouk on Jan. 20, the report said.

Security alerted police and found six handguns and the rifle that had a scope, bump stock and bipod, the report said. Alaklouk said it was his father’s, and was “fully tricked out,” the report said.

Police reportedly told Alaklouk to secure the weapons, and he moved the rifle to the backseat, the report said.

The Trump administration is pushing to ban bump stocks at the federal level. Several states have passed bump stock bans.
