BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) The former manager of a firearms manufacturer has pleaded guilty to falsifying records indicating that missing firearms had been scrapped.

Richard Cummings, former manager of Tri-Town Plastics in Deep River, entered his plea Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Bridgeport.

The 43-year-old Cummings of East Haddam pleaded guilty to making a false entry in a firearms manufacturer's acquisition and disposition records, failing to file a theft-loss report and failing to maintain a firearms manufacturer's acquisition and disposition records.

Plainfield police seized a handgun from a convicted felon in February 2012. It had no record of being manufactured, and according to Tri-Town's records, the gun's frame was scrapped in March 2011.

Cummings is scheduled to be sentenced April 15. The maximum penalty on each misdemeanor charge is one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.
