FAYETTEVILLE — A jury has been seated for the trial of a Washington County man accused of illegally having three machine guns and a sawed-off shotgun.

Hollis Wayne Fincher, 60, a lieutenant commander of the Militia of Washington County, is charged in U.S. District Court with possessing three homemade, unregistered machine guns and an unregistered sawed-off shotgun.

Opening statements are set for this afternoon.

The trial is expected to last two or three days.

Fincher was arrested Nov. 8 by federal agents. He remains in federal custody in lieu of $250,000 bond, and a number of other conditions also set by a magistrate judge.

According to police, two of the .308-caliber machine guns, homemade versions of the Browning model 1919, allegedly had Fincher's name inscribed on them and said “Amendment 2 invoked,” a reference to the Constitutional right of citizens to bear arms. They were also inscribed with “non-commercial.”
