Feds Charge 18-Year-Old Who Posted More Than 30 Glock Switches On Social Media
18-year-old was charged after he posted that he had over 40 Glock switches on his Instagram.
“These devices vary by design and appearance but all, when properly installed on a semi-automatic Glock pistol, will allow the firearm to expel more than one projectile by a single pull of the trigger at approximately 1,200 rounds per minute,” a federal agent said in a criminal complaint.
In June 2022, ATF and the Detroit Police Department (DPD) began monitoring the Instagram Profile. On June 26, 2023, at around 4:36 p.m., the user posted two Instagram stories.
The first story was a video depicting the three component parts for ten Glock conversion devices, lined up and ready to be assembled.
The video was captioned, “30 more in this week 10 more now.” The second story was a video depicting several Glock conversion devices in plastic bags and a Glock pistol equipped with a Glock conversion device attached to the rear.
On June 27, 2023, ATF Special Agents and Detroit Police executed the search warrant at the Whitlock residence. The suspect, Almaliki, was present at the location.
Following a search of the residence, law enforcement seized the following items: One Glock is equipped with a Glock conversion device. Six Glock conversion devices in small plastic bags, located under the bed in the northeast bedroom of the residence. One AR-Aeroprecision, X-15, multi-caliber machine gun.
