DAYTON — A 61-year-old Springfield man accused of using fake information on 200 firearm sales records and selling the weapons on the black market pleaded guilty to charges, according to the Department of Justice South District of Ohio.

James A. Mayhugh Jr. reportedly lied in records about the who was purchasing the guns and then sold them to unknown people on the black market.

Mayhugh was the owner and operator of Jim’s Sports in Springfield.
As ATF IOIs investigated, they discovered one of the customers died in 2014, despite records indicating that the customer bought guns as recently as 2018.

Are there any pics of this guy? There was gun shop in Beavercreek years ago that I used to go to, it was called Jim's Guns. I'm curious to see if maybe it was the same guy.
