A 19-year-old Orlando man was sentenced to federal prison for possessing a machinegun.
U.S. District Judge Roy B. Dalton, Jr. sentenced 19-year-old Jeremiah Cundiff, of Orlando, to one year and six months in federal prison for possessing a machinegun.
According to court documents, on October 23, 2023, law enforcement apprehended Cundiff, who had an active warrant for his arrest. During the apprehension, Cundiff fled and made a stealthy movement. At the area of Cundiff’s movement, a loaded firearm with a machinegun conversion device installed was recovered. Cundiff’s DNA was found on the firearm.
The type of machinegun conversion device in this case is commonly referred to as a “switch,” and is designed and intended, solely and exclusively, to convert a semiautomatic pistol into a machinegun, causing the pistol to fire more than one shot with the single pull of the trigger.
This Central Florida case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, with valuable assistance from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Noah P. Dorman. Cundiff pleaded guilty on October 31, 2024.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
