A federal grand jury has indicted the manager of a West Mifflin firearms dealer on a count of illegal sales by a licensed dealer.

Jamie Chonko, 34, the manager of Anthony Arms, is accused of selling four handguns to an out-of-state resident on June 19 of this year knowing that the buyer did not live in Pennsylvania.

Federal law prohibits sales of handguns by licensed dealers to out-of-state residents.

Ms. Chonko was indicted Jan. 7 and the case was unsealed the next day in U.S. District Court.

She appeared briefly in court Thursday and was released on bond.

A man who answered the phone at Anthony Arms declined to comment. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Friday the process of revoking Anthony Arms' firearms license has begun.
