A federal grand jury has indicted Gregory L. Tischuk, 65, of Fort Mill, South Carolina, on charges related to the straw purchase of a firearm.
According to the indictment, in April 2024 Tischuk bought a firearm from a major retailer and allegedly misrepresented who the gun was for on the Firearms Transaction Record Form 4473. This form requires buyers to confirm that they are purchasing the firearm for themselves.
If convicted, Tischuk could face up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, up to three years of supervised release in addition to any term of imprisonment, and a special assessment of $100. He has been released on bond while awaiting further proceedings.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney William K. Witherspoon is prosecuting.
“All charges in the indictment are merely accusations and defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law,” officials stated.
