A local man was sentenced to 71 months in federal prison for allegedly possessing dozens of machine gun conversion devices. SAN ANTONIO - A local man was sentenced to 71 months in federal prison for allegedly possessing dozens of machine gun conversion devices.
According to the United State’s Attorney’s Office, 21-year-old Aden Ethan Cantu aka Glock Mayne, unlawfully possessed multiple machine gun conversion devices also known as switches. In total, Cantu was found in possession of 94 switches and other machine gun conversion devices, which he had been allegedly trafficking throughout San Antonio.
“The possession of a machine gun conversion device is illegal,” said U.S. Attorney Jaime Esparza for the Western District of Texas. “These devices are very often paired with stolen firearms and used in other criminal endeavors, and this sentence reinforces the message that trafficking these devices will not be tolerated in our community.”
Cantu was arrested in December 2023 and has remained in federal custody. He pleaded guilty to one charge of possession of a machine gun in September of 2024.
