Prosecutors announced Thursday that Jeremiah Peter Watson also pleaded guilty to using, carrying and brandishing a firearm in relation to a violent crime.
When police identified his home from his license plate, they searched his residence and found a privately made handgun without a serial number, also known as a ghost gun.
Watson will be sentenced to 10 years in federal prison under a plea agreement, if a federal judge approves.
