The man pleaded guilty to federal charges after selling almost a dozen guns to a confidential informant out of DTLA Hookah, according to court documents.
A hookah lounge owner has pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges for selling narcotics and nearly a dozen firearms — including so-called ghost guns — to a confidential informant out of his downtown Los Angeles business, according to court documents.
Dagesian was the owner of DTLA Hookah on St Vincent Court in late 2020 when he was introduced to a confidential informant through a mutual friend, prosecutors said.The informant, who was not named in court papers but had previously worked for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, told authorities about Dagesian and set up another time to meet with the lounge owner.
Some of the guns that the informant purchased had no serial numbers on them, making them untraceable. These types of weapons are known as ghost guns.
