The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office announced today that defendant Larry Williams, 40, who is accused of running a gun trafficking organization in Philadelphia, Bucks and Montgomery counties and beyond, pled guilty to more than 100 felony counts and will be sentenced by Judge Steven O’Neill.

Williams’ group is accused of illegally purchasing and selling 94 firearms, of which 41 have been recovered by law enforcement through crimes and criminal investigations. Williams was responsible for directing the purchases of the firearms, selling the majority of the illegal firearms and was also involved in trafficking illegal drugs.

The prosecution agreed to a cap of 25 to 50 years in prison, the District Attorney said.

Numerous law enforcement organizations were involved in dismantling Williams’ gun trafficking organization, including the Montgomery County Detective Bureau, the Attorney General’s Office, and the Abington Township Police Department.

Williams was arrested on limited charges on January 6, 2023, during a straw purchase of firearms and since then, has been in the Montgomery County Correctional Facility.
