"Two men have been indicted on weapons charges in federal court here for allegedly making straw purchases of two handguns at the Cabelas sporting goods store in Hazelwood.
A police source says both men are affiliated with the New Black Panther Party and were taken into custody this morning.
The indictment was handed up Wednesday and unsealed today accusing Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Davis of making false statements to obtain firearms. The defendants ages and addresses were not made public.
According to the indictment, between Nov. 1 and 13, Baldwin, also known as Brandon Muhammad, and Olajuwon, also known as Olajuwon Ali and Brother Ali, acquired two Hi-Point .45 ACP pistols at the store, claiming that Baldwin was the buyer when, in fact, the weapons were intended for someone else."
