Federal prosecutors in Nevada have charged Arizona resident Douglas Haig with conspiracy to manufacture and sell armor-piercing ammunition. According to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office in Las Vegas, Haig appeared Friday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michelle Burns in Phoenix and was released on bond pending a Feb. 15 status conference there. If convicted, Haig could face up to five years in prison. A criminal complaint filed Friday morning is sealed in Nevada, but it appears in Arizona court records. According to the document, the FBI has determined that “two unfired cartridges bearing Haig’s fingerprints” were found in gunman Stephen Paddock’s suite at Mandalay Bay. At a news conference Friday at his lawyer’s office, Haig said Paddock demonstrated no unusual behavior when he came to Haig’s home in Mesa to purchase approximately 720 rounds of tracer ammunition. “Business records reveal that Haig sold armor piercing ammunition throughout the U.S., including Nevada, Texas, Virginia, Wyoming, and South Carolina,” according to the U.S. attorney’s office.
