MOSES LAKE — A Moses Lake man was arrested on Monday after reportedly selling two stolen guns to undercover detectives.

Brandon J. Cirame, 28, of Moses Lake, reportedly made arrangements to sell three revolvers, a shotgun and a rifle, with two of the guns previously reported as stolen, according to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office.

The buyers for the guns were reportedly undercover detectives from the Grant County Interagency Narcotics Enforcement Team (INET), who set up a buy in the Moses Lake Walmart parking lot.

Cirame, who is a convicted felon, was arrested for investigation of five counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, two counts of possession of stolen property and two counts of trafficking stolen property.

“A bust like this should serve as a warning to felons that you can never be too sure who is buying the stolen property you are trying to offload,” Sheriff Tom Jones said.
