Oscar Romeo Martin-Zacarias was caught at a Brownsville home on July 15, 2014.
Homeland Security Investigations special agents and US Border Patrol searched the Brownville residence.
That’s when agents found four unauthorized immigrants inside the house during the consensual search, according to a criminal complaint.
Martin allegedly told agents he had the weapon inside a safe.

Martin was booked into the Cameron County Jail on the weapons charge.
