Dustin Chad Montgomery, 35, was detained after authorities received information about Montgomery trying to sell the guns at Donna's Barn on Elkmont Road. Deputies said they found in Montgomery's possession a .22 caliber Mossberg AR-15 rifle and a .25 caliber Titan pistol. The serial number of the AR-15 was scratched off, the sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's office said Montgomery has been convicted of previous felonies, which forbids him to have a firearm. The identity of the owner or owners of the two guns is unknown.

Montgomery was charged with possession of a pistol by a felon and possession of an altered firearm. He was booked into Limestone County Jail on a $5,000 bond.
