Ganoung is accused of possessing a DPMS Panther Arms semiautomatic .233-caliber rifle during an investigation by police in March.
The rifle, according to the indictment, had a telescoping stock, pistol grip and magazine loaded with 28 live rounds, a flash suppressor/muzzle break and a bayonet mount.
