avares Hudson, 22, of the 600 block of West Monroe Street, went to the hospital for treatment following a gunshot wound on January 23, 2022, he sustained outside a nightclub. Police officers arrived at the hospital at the same time as Hudson, seeking information from him and to perform a gunshot residue test. Before a responding officer obtained all of the information he sought, hospital staff began treating Hudson and discovered that he had something plastic in his mouth. After much protest, Hudson eventually spit out a small baggie containing an item that qualifies as a “machine gun” under federal law, also known as a “Glock Conversion Device.”

Hudson was arrested in McLean County in January 2022 and remained in state custody until a criminal complaint was filed in federal court. A federal grand jury subsequently returned an indictment against him in February 2022. He entered a guilty plea in September 2022. Hudson has remained in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service since his federal indictment.

The statutory penalties for possession of a machinegun are up to 10 years’ imprisonment, to be followed by up to three years of supervised release. A fine of up to $250,000 is also possible.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Bloomington Police Department; and the Peoria Police Department investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ronald L. Hanna represented the government in the prosecution.

Outcome: Defendant was sentenced to 33 months in prison.
