## Resource

A Modesto teen faces serious charges after cops and the ATF uncovered over 100 machine gun conversion kits—including “Glock switches”—and a ghost gun in his possession. The bust highlights critical local-federal collaboration in stopping dangerous firearm modifications before they reach the streets. Abrahan Israel Padilla Valadez, 20, was arrested and charged with 15 felonies; he’s held on $1 million bail despite no prior record. His attorney says the charges don’t fit his client’s background, and a management conference is set for August 31.
