Federal authorities have brought charges of being a felon in possession of a gun against a validated Bounty Hunter gang member.
Dejuan "Green Light" Rowland was arrested after a "reverse buy-bust" last Thursday.
Authorities said a reverse buy-bust is when an undercover agent makes a sale of contraband and then arrests that person.
The FBI says Rowland contacted the undercover agent about purchasing a Glock 19 9mm pistol for $250.
Rowland was earlier convicted of robbery in Davidson County last Nov. 28, it was stated.
A meeting was arranged at the Staybridge Suites /Baymont Inn off Shallowford Road. Rowland arrived at 12:45 p.m. and met with the undercover agent.
Rowland handed over $250 and then picked up a bag containing the gun. He took the gun out of the bag and "dry-fired" it. It was noted that he did not first check to see if the gun was loaded.
He then appeared satisfied and took it back to his vehicle. He was then arrested at the parking lot.
The firearm was recovered along with the cell phone that Rowland was using.
