Terry Ferguson pleaded guilty Friday in U.S. District Court to narcotics and gun-trafficking charges that included the 2015 sale of two dozen guns from the back of his food truck "Chicago's Finest Deli on Wheels."
In December 2019, Hernandez-Gomez agreed to provide heroin and fentanyl in exchange for various machine guns, grenade launchers, grenades and handguns during what he believed were negotiations with traffickers but was, in fact, an ATF sting operation.
The following month, Hernandez-Gomez came to Los Angeles, where he provided more than two pounds each of heroin and fentanyl and renegotiated the amount of firearms and grenades in exchange for the heroin, according to a federal affidavit.
He agreed to exchange the narcotics for three Bushmaster machine guns, three grenade launchers and 72 inert grenades, which he thought were live explosives, according to his plea agreement.

CLEVELAND, Ohio Federal authorities Thursday accused a jilted lover from Northeast Ohio of delivering a bomb that exploded in front of a rival suitor.
Prosecutors in Maryland filed federal weapons charges Thursday against Clayton McCoy, 30, of Chesterland. The charges say the device blasted shrapnel into the victim’s body last fall. The victim, who was not identified, suffered serious injuries, including burns, to his chest and legs, according to a federal affidavit filed in U.S. District Court.
Magistrate Judge Carmen Henderson ordered McCoy detained without bond and transferred his case to Maryland, where federal prosecutors will try his case. His attorney for Thursday’s hearing, Darin Thompson, could not be reached for comment. A person who answered the phone at McCoy’s home declined to discuss the case.
