Phillip McCall was arrested on a federal charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon Clayson Pearce arrested possession of a machine gun

Phillip McCall, 35, was arrested on a federal charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and Clayson Pearce, 27, was arrested on a federal charge of possession of a machine gun, said Lt. Skip Arms, Colorado Springs police spokesman.
Jennifer McNeil, 32, and Ralph McNeil, 39, were arrested for allegedly selling hashish. Benjamin Vanornum, 24, was arrested on drug charges, Arms said. Ryan Middleton, 27, was arrested on a warrant for failing to appear in court, he said.
More than 100 Colorado Springs officers, sheriff's deputies from Tel ler and El Paso counties and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives confiscated drugs, money and equipment to make machine guns during raids across Colorado Springs. Last November, ATF agents, local detectives and El Paso County sheriff's investigators began investigating whether employees at Shrap Metal Tattoo, 2928 Parker St., were selling drugs and firearms out of the shop, Arms said.
Undercover detectives bought firearms, including AK-47-type machine guns, and high-grade marijuana from several suspects. On Thursday, undercover agents arrested Pearce after he allegedly sold three machine guns and two military-style ballistic vests in the Citadel Mall parking lot, Arms said. ATF's Special Response Team served a search warrant at two homes in Florissant where they confiscated two firearms and a parts kit to manufacture an AK-47-type machine gun. Agents arrested McCall and confiscated drug paraphernalia, a firearm and money at the tattoo parlor.
They arrested the McNeils at 825 Valkenburg Drive, where they found 42 grams of marijuana, 62 grams of hashish and 17 grams of mushrooms, Arms said.
