Only in Fla. The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that a local bass tournament pro has been “pegged” by feds as the center of an international firearms-trafficking operation. Hugh Crumpler III, a well-known Central Florida bass fishing guide, has been sentenced to just over two years in prison. Crumpler said he knew the weapons he sold were going out of the country to places like Honduras, but he didn’t know they were ending up with organized criminal groups. “Federal agents say Crumpler mostly bought guns that are the preferred weapons of drug cartels in South and Central America, including a semi-automatic handgun that fires a rifle round capable of penetrating bulletproof vests.”
