Bryan Jaurice Clark Jr., 27, of the 500 block of General Patterson Drive in Cheltenham Township, was convicted of charges of corrupt organizations, making false statements on federal gun purchase forms, illegal sale or transfer of firearms, selling firearms to ineligible persons, dealing in proceeds of unlawful activities and criminal use of a communication facility in connection with incidents that occurred between 2020 and 2022, The Reporter said.

Prosecutors said that Clark engaged in gun trafficking activities involving 17 firearms as part of an organization that utilized straw purchase schemes in Montgomery, Bucks and Philadelphia counties.

His sentence, which is potentially decades in prison, has been deferred so that court officials can complete a background investigation report. Clark was ordered to stay in the county jail without bail until his hearing.

The gun trafficking network was dismantled by members of the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Violent Crime Unit. A majority of the guns allegedly purchased by Clark and Williams have not been recovered, according to authorities, The Reporter said.
