Two arrested after involvement in gun ring

Two men were arrested Wednesday after police say they stole firearms last week to sell in a weapons ring.

Keegan Campbell, 19, and Jesse Renfro, 22, were named by their accomplice, Bud Williams, during an interview with police on Oct. 1, according to police reports.

On the night of the robbery, which took place at Brandywine Apartments, 2811 SW Archer Road, Williams said he drove Campbell and Renfro to the residence and helped them steal a large metal safe, as well as a laptop, TV and other items valued at about $2,500.

The men returned to Williams' apartment, where Renfro opened a safe with a power saw and found two handguns inside, valued at $750, according to the report.

Williams, a two-time felon, was arrested after police received a tip that he was selling weapons from his apartment.

After catching Williams selling a shotgun, police searched his apartment and discovered nine other firearms: one handgun and a mix of shotguns, hunting rifles and a full rifle magazine, the report stated.

Williams was charged with 11 counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, one count of armed burglary and two counts of grand theft from a dwelling.

Campbell was charged with one count of armed burglary and one count of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Renfro was charged with one count of grand theft of a firearm.
