(FOX40.COM) — A Lodi man pleaded guilty on Monday to federal charges stemming from the illegal sale and possession of firearms, including a machine gun, after investigators tied him to an attempted weapons deal and the discovery of explosives.

According to the Department of Justice, Jashanpreet Singh, 27, pleaded guilty to unlawfully dealing firearms and unlawfully possessing a machine gun.

DOJ said that the court documents showed Singh founded the “Punjabi Devils” Motorcycle Club, a Stockton-based outlaw motorcycle gang with ties to the Hells Angels. On June 6, 2025, he attempted to sell multiple weapons to an undercover officer, including a short-barreled rifle, three assault weapons, three machine gun conversion devices and a revolver.

A search of Singh’s vehicle and home was conducted when crews found more illegal weapons and parts, authorities said. Items seized included a machine gun, another machine gun conversion device, a silencer, high-capacity drum magazines and other firearms.

Officers also found a “pineapple”-style hand grenade and what was believed to be a military electronic-capped Claymore mine. The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office Explosive Ordnance Detail destroyed the explosive devices at the scene, the DOJ said in a press release.
