Brandon Marquez was driving a 2020 Acura on Brentwood Road, when he was pulled over for a traffic stop for driving with an expired registration by Third Precinct Anti-Crime officers, at approximately 10:20 p.m. They then discovered an illegal weapon on his person, along with a large capacity magazine.

Further investigation and a search of Marquez’s residence, located at 210 Clift St, Central Islip, resulted in the seizure of two assault rifles with magazines, a 3D printer with a computer, six ghost gun type receivers (frames), a quantity of ammunition, and 3D printing material.

Third Squad detectives charged Marquez, 23, with six counts of Criminal Manufacture of an Undetectable Firearm, six counts of Criminal Possession of an Undetectable Firearm, two counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon 3rd Degree (assault rifles), and the initial charges of Criminal Possession of a Weapon 2nd Degree (for the loaded firearm) and Criminal Possession of a Weapon 3rd Degree (for the large capacity magazine).

Marquez was held overnight at the Third Precinct and was scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on January 31.
