YAKIMA -- A Granger man was charged Thursday with stealing a gun from a Yakima gun show last weekend.
Froylan Ochoa-Bustamente was being held on $50,000 bail at the Yakima County jail.
He also faces one count of being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm, plus an immigration hold.
A Yakima police report stated Ochoa-Bustamente was arrested about noon Sunday after a customer spotted him taking the gun out of the Yakima Convention Center, where the show was held Saturday and Sunday.
Two federal immigration agents who were at the show learned of the theft and saw the suspect place two guns in the trunk of a car that was parked at the nearby 7-Eleven store on Yakima Avenue, according to the report, filed in Yakima County Superior Court.
Authorities later determined that a second pistol, valued at $700, had also been stolen from another dealer. The first pistol was worth $500.
