Two Washington, D.C., men accused of impersonating federal agents were hit with weapons charges Tuesday in a new grand jury indictment.
The men, Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and 35-year-old Haider Ali, previously were charged in a criminal complaint in federal court in Washington with impersonating agents of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The indictment issued Tuesday includes those charges, but also charges Taherzadeh with two counts of unlawful possession of a large-capacity ammunition device, specifically magazines for Glock and Sig Sauer semiautomatic pistols.
Ali was additionally indicted on one count of unlawful possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device, specifically a Glock magazine.
