U.S. Attorney Cody Hiland said Brian Barron, 38, of Little Rock, was convicted in a jury trial Tuesday of drug and weapon charges, including possession of a machine gun. He’ll be sentenced later.

According to a news release, a woman reported to police in October 2017 that Barron, the father of her children, had shot at her and hit her in the head with a machine gun.

Barron, who’d been convicted previously on drug charges, was dealing heroin and methamphetamine, the government said. Investigators got a search warrant for a storage locker on Geyer Springs Road. While they were watching, Barron arrived in a gold GMC Yukon with a small child. Officers handcuffed Barron and searched his vehicle, finding a stolen Bushmaster rifle, wrapped in a garbage bag with a loaded 100-round drum of ammunition, and a Mac 10 machine pistol with multiple loaded extended magazines. They also found cocaine, more than 40 grams of methamphetamine, 26 capsules of heroin, and various pills.

A grand jury in July charged Barron with five counts: being a felon in possession of a firearm, possession of heroin, possession of meth, possession of a firearm in a drug crime and possession of a machinegun. Because of his criminal history and mandatory minimums in some of the charges, the U.S. attorney said Barron

faces a sentence of 45 years and a fine up to $8 million.
