James Young, a former DEA agent, faces numerous charges including assault with a firearm stemming from alleged violent incidents involving firearms, road rage, and domestic violence. In a concerning track record, Young was first arrested for choking his estranged wife, later found with a massive arsenal at home, including illegal firearms. The original charges have now escalated to include the pointing of a gun at a fellow agent. Prosecutors have flagged these actions not only as criminal but as a grave betrayal of the trust placed in law enforcement personnel.
"My office will not tolerate criminal conduct by those we entrust to enforce the law. The disturbing allegations of this case - including domestic violence, multiple assaults with a firearm, and an intentional hit-and-run - represent both a threat to public safety and a betrayal of public trust."
"A subsequent search of Young's home turned up 30,000 rounds of ammunition, several grenades and a cache of 15 different firearms - including a sawed-off shotgun and four other weapons illegal to own under state law, records show."
