(From the U. S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri)A Springfield, Mo., man who was closely associated with a local street gang known as “All Family No Friends,” was sentenced in federal court for illegally possessing a Glock pistol outfitted with a machine gun conversion device (MCD), a device designed to turn a firearm into a fully automatic weapon.
Trey Alexander Giles, 21, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Stephen R. Bough to five years in federal prison without parole, to be followed by a three-year term of supervised release.
Between July 2023 and February 2025, Giles was repeatedly reported to police regarding his involvement with violent incidents including domestic violence and crimes involving firearms. Giles’s domestic partner also reported Giles to the police for chasing her with a pistol equipped with an MCD.
On Sept. 21, 2023, the Springfield, Missouri Police Department contacted Giles and three of his associates, which resulted in the search of Giles’ vehicle. Officers located a Glock pistol equipped with a 50-round drum magazine and an MCD, an Anderson Arms AR-style pistol, a Pioneer Arms AK-style rifle, a second Glock equipped with a 30-round extended magazine, and an additional Glock pistol. All firearms were loaded. Officers also located a ski mask, various ammunition, and marijuana in Giles’s vehicle.
On Nov. 2, 2023, Giles was again contacted by police near a residence. Prior to contact, officers observed Giles walking away from a trash can outside of the residence. Officers located a Glock pistol with an MCD under a trash can.
In response to an indictment by a federal grand jury, Giles pleaded guilty to possession of a machine gun on Oct. 3, 2025.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie L. Wan. It was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Springfield, Missouri Police Department.
