He was trafficking weapons on the black market
NORWAY -- A former Norway man, facing federal charges of trafficking weapons on the black market, has pled guilty.
Richard Paul, 35, pled guilty to conspiracy and a federal weapons charge.
Paul, who now lives in Durango, Colorado, admitted to trying to sell untraceable assault weapons on the black market to an undercover federal agent.
Codefendant and fellow Norway graduate, Nicholas Bickle, is still scheduled to stand trial.
Bickle is a Navy SEAL who allegedly smuggled the weapons into the country from Iraq.
