The founder of an anti-gang group called No Guns was arrested for allegedly selling firearms to federal undercover agents.
Hector "Big Weasel" Marroquin, 51, was arrested Thursday at his Downey home on charges of selling an assault rifle, a machine gun, (10 years, $250K minimum sentence - sig 226) two pistols and two silencers, said Susan Raichel, a spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Sylvia Arrellano, 25, was arrested as a result of the same investigation at a Cudahy home and faces the same charges, Raichel said.
The arrests came after a nine-month investigation into weapons sales by the 18th Street gang that once counted Marroquin as a member.
