A military veteran who had vowed armed resistance to laws against personal freedom pleaded guilty Friday to a federal weapons violation.
Christopher Steven Ledbetter, 29, of McLoud, admitted that he modified an AK-47-style carbine to fire like a machine gun.
FBI agents found the fully automatic weapon in his Jeep when he was arrested June 4 in Oklahoma City on a state warrant accusing him of eluding police. Agents the same day raided his family's property and seized ammunition, two homemade grenades and two Molotov cocktails. He was staying on the property in a large shipping container described by the FBI as a barracks.
