Roos informed Pendergrass that he could not legally purchase a handgun because he had been confined to a mental institution earlier that year. Roos then asked Pendergrass to purchase the pistol for him. Surveillance footage filmed by Harps shows Roos picking out the gun and then handing Pendergrass cash in the store to make the purchase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHarps knew or should have known, paying for a gun with someone else\u2019s money is a strong indicator of a straw purchase, and that the transfer is a straw purchase,&#8221; states the lawsuit. &#8220;Although Harps knew and had reason to know that there were multiple strong indicators of a straw sale, the Harps clerk ran the background check on Pendergrass rather than Roos.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/gao-report-feds-prosecutes\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"arkansas-ffl-sued-for-straw-purchase-that-resulted-in-double-murder\" title=\"Arkansas FFL Sued For Straw Purchase that Resulted in Double Murder\">GAO Report: Feds Prosecute 0.01% of \u2018Lie and Try\u2019 Attempted Gun Purchases<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Brady Center Vice President Jonathan Lowy, who is also acting as co-counsel on the case, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradycampaign.org\/press-room\/arkansas-gun-dealer-that-sold-handgun-to-straw-purchaser-used-in-murder-of-retired-couple\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"arkansas-ffl-sued-for-straw-purchase-that-resulted-in-double-murder\" title=\"Arkansas FFL Sued For Straw Purchase that Resulted in Double Murder\">said<\/a>, &#8220;While most gun dealers care deeply about their responsibility to keep guns out of the wrong hands, unfortunately some gun dealers put profits over people, and endanger us all. When a gun dealer chooses to engage in irresponsible sales practices that arm dangerous people, they should be held responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The clerk that ran the background check and sold the firearm was 17 at the time of the transaction.\u00a0 There are questions about whether it is lawful for someone that age to work as a clerk at an FFL.

However, a person less than 18 years of age must have the prior written consent of a parent or guardian and the written consent must be in the person\u2019s possession at all times. Also, the parent of guardian giving the written consent may not be prohibited by law from possessing a firearm. Moreover, State law must not prohibit a person less than 18 years of age from possessing the handguns or ammunition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roos pleaded guilty to capital murder on May 24, 2016, and was sentenced to life in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Pendergrass was convicted this past November for making a false statement in the acquisition of a firearm, a felony offense.
