Description:
Machinegun Conversion Device Found in Baby Crib Lands Oklahoma City Man in Federal Prison for Nearly Two Years
GENESIS NYRELL YOUNG, 21, of Oklahoma City, was sentenced to serve 22 months in federal prison for unlawful possession of a machinegun.
On September 4, 2024, a federal Grand Jury charged Young with unlawful possession of a machinegun. According to public record, on April 24, 2024, officers with the Oklahoma City Police Department (OCPD) executed a search warrant on Young's home, during which they found a machinegun conversion device (MCD) inside a baby's crib. Commonly referred to as switches, MCDs convert semi-automatic weapons into fully automatic machineguns. Possession of an MCD violates federal law. A pistol and an extended magazine were also located lying next to the crib.
On January 9, 2025, Young pleaded guilty, and admitted he knowingly possessed the MCD.
At the sentencing hearing on April 23, 2025, U.S. District Judge Jodi W. Dishman sentenced Young to serve 22 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. In announcing her sentence, Judge Dishman noted the serious nature and circumstances of the offense.
This case is the result of an investigation by the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office and OCPD. Assistant U.S. Attorney David Nichols, Jr. prosecuted the case.
This case is also part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. This case is also part of "Project Switch Off,†the Western District of Oklahoma's local implementation of PSN. "Project Switch Off†targets illegal machinegun conversion devices to address the significant danger these illegal devices present and to remove them from our streets.
