Vasken Gourdikian, the Pasadena police lieutenant indicted this month for allegedly selling more than 100 guns illegally, has resigned from the force, according to city officials.

Gourdikian submitted his resignation at 5 p.m. Thursday, according to Lt. Jason Clawson, the department’s public information officer.

“He’s no longer an employee with the city,” Clawson said.

Clawson could not say whether Gourdikian gave a reason for his resignation.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives raided Gourdikian’s Sierra Madre home in February 2016 and seized dozens of firearms. Between 2013 and 2017, Gourdikian listed more than 70 firearms for sale through an account on Calguns.net, public records showed. Federal authorities say they’ve traced the sales of at least 107 firearms back to him.

Gourdikian surrendered to federal authorities March 2 and pleaded not guilty at an arraignment later that afternoon. If convicted on all counts, he faces a maximum sentence of 35 years in prison.

At the arraignment, his attorney Robert Kalunian said Gourdikian was committed to fighting the charges against him.

Gourdikian was on paid administrative leave from the department for a year and made more than $191,000 during that time.

Pasadena police Chief Phillip Sanchez stripped Gourdikian of his pay and began an internal investigation on the same day the criminal charges were filed. Federal authorities had asked Sanchez to hold off on the internal review to avoid compromising their criminal investigation.

Sanchez announced his retirement last week, just days before Gourdikian’s resignation.

It’s unclear if the internal probe found any policy violations, but in at least one instance, it appeared Gourdikian may have used his position to get around 10-day waiting periods during gun purchases. In late May 2015, he received a waiver from Sanchez that allowed him to buy a Glock 43. The letter states the pistol was for personal use and not for resale.

Seven days later, Gourdikian listed a gun with the same make and model on Calguns. According to the indictment, he later sold a Glock 43 and seven other pistols to someone in Duarte in June. The gun did not appear on the list of firearms seized last year and city officials noted they were aware of a “discrepancy” with the seizure list.

Gourdikian used his city email address for his Calguns’ account and several of his posts were made during business hours.

Another Pasadena police officer, Alex Torres, was placed on paid leave roughly nine days after Gourdikian. Torres has not been charged and the city has refused to comment on the allegations against him.

Clawson said he had not been briefed about any changes to Torres’ employment as of Tuesday afternoon.

ATF spokeswoman Ginger Colbrun would not confirm Torres is part of the agency’s ongoing investigation into police officers buying and reselling “off-roster” firearms without a license. These types of of firearms can’t be sold to the public by gunshops in California, but they can be transferred between individuals, usually with a significant markup. California law allows police officers to buy off-roster firearms but places limits on how many they can sell such weapons in a year.

The ATF is investigating at least three officers in Southern California for selling these hard-to-get guns and flipping them for a profit. Some have turned up at crime scenes.
