A pawnshop operator has been indicted by a Harford County grand jury on charges of illegally selling firearms, the Maryland attorney general's office announced yesterday.
Alexander Sabinstev, who operates Star Pawn Brokers in Edgewood, is charged with two counts of illegal gun sales and three counts of selling firearms to those he had reason to believe were involved in "straw purchases" of weapons to be turned over to someone else, the attorney general's office said.
