A Hastings man faces two felony weapons charges after police stopped him in connection with a theft report at Mills Fleet Farm and officers later found a sawed-off shotgun in a guitar case in his vehicle. That's according to the criminal complaint against Carl William McPhillips, 30, who was arrested March 19. <blockquote> Related: </blockquote> Oakdale police at about 1:15 p.m. were flagged down by a Mills Fleet Farm employee, who said a man fled in a Ford Bronco after he confronted him about stealing ammunition, according to the complaint. After initiating a traffic stop, police noticed boxes of ammunition in plain view, along with a large black duffel bag behind the driver's seat, according to the criminal complaint. The driver, identified as McPhillips, was arrested and the vehicle was searched. The bag contained a guitar case, in which police found the altered weapon, along with another 12-guage shotgun in a metal lox box, according to the complaint. McPhillips in 2005 was convicted of aiding and abetting burglary, which makes him ineligible to possess a firearm, the complaint says. If convicted on both counts, he faces up to 20 years in prison and $40,000 in fines.     <a href="http://www.facebook.com/OakdalePatch" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Like us on Facebook</a> | <a href="http://twitter.com/OakdalePatch" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Follow us on Twitter</a> | <a href="https://oakdale.patch.com/newsletters" rel="nofollow">Sign up for our free newsletter</a>
