SCRANTON &mdash; An owner of a logging and excavating business in Dallas indicted by a federal grand jury last year on firearms and drug trafficking offenses pleaded guilty in federal court earlier this week, according to the U.S. Attorney&rsquo;s Office in Scranton.
				Bruce Robert Redmond, 31, of Ransom Road, Franklin Township, admitted to being an illegal user of a controlled substance while in possession of firearms, U.S. Attorney David J. Freed stated in a news release.
				Redmond also admitted to possessing and peddling methamphetamine.
				Agents with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives executed search warrant&rsquo;s at Redmond&rsquo;s logging company&rsquo;s office on Market Street, Kingston, and at Redmond&rsquo;s residence on April 12, 2019, a day after a dump truck owned by the business flipped on Wilson Road, Larksville, damaging the front yard of a residence. The driver of the dump truck fled the scene.
				The indictment alleged Redmond is a user of methamphetamine and provided false information about his drug use on firearm purchase applications at a firearms store in Sweet Valley when he attempted to purchase a .380-caliber pistol and a .45-caliber pistol at a firearms store in Wyoming.
				The search resulted in the seizure of 58 firearms, 6,664 rounds of ammunition and a quantity of methamphetamine, the news release says.
				Redmond pleaded guilty to the charges on June 2.
				Kingston police and state police assisted in the investigation.
				Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert J. O&rsquo;Hara prosecuted.
