Stony Point Man Accused Of Selling Ghost Gun

STONY POINT, NY — A Rockland man is accused of selling a ghost gun to an undercover agent, Rockland County District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II announced Tuesday.

A ghost gun is an unserialized and untraceable firearm that can be purchased and assembled at home. Ghost guns are often sold in kits, which include all the equipment necessary to build a functioning weapon.

Robert Muntz, 42 of Stony Point, has been charged with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and third-degree criminal sale of a firearm, both felonies.

Prosecutors alleged that in October, Muntz had a 9mm pistol that contained no serial number, which he sold to an agent of the Rockland County Drug Task Force.

The defendant is not a registered firearms dealer and is not authorized to sell the pistol, the DA said.

"Day and night, members of the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office Drug Task Force are out in the community working tirelessly to identify and arrest individuals selling drugs and guns," District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II said in the announcement. "My office is dedicated to holding any individual accountable for their. actions that endanger the residents of Rockland County. I would like to thank the Haverstraw Police Department and the DEA Group D43 for their assistance in this investigation."

Muntz was arraigned Monday by Judge Ivonne Santos in the Town of Haverstraw Justice Court. His next court appearance will be Feb. 9.
