A criminal case is taking shape in the Hudson Valley. A man from the region is facing charges after FBI agents swarmed a home in Poughkeepsie.
The operation centered on a search of the property. FBI agents moved in on the home as part of the investigation.
What they found inside points to a weapons case. Officials seized guns, loaded magazines and a lot of ammunition.
The search had a specific address. It played out on Malm Rose Terrace in the town of Poughkeepsie.
Authorities have named who they believe is responsible. Federal prosecutors say the home belongs to 44-year-old Ali Khan Lodi.
Investigators also point to earlier video evidence tied to his business. They say surveillance video appears to show him handing off one of the guns at his Poughkeepsie marijuana dispensary months before the search.
His history is central to the case against him. Investigators say Lodi has multiple prior felony convictions.
