The investigation into a Mitchell businessman, Cory Cumings, has revealed some shocking details. Court papers indicate that a raid of Cumings’ home and business led to the discovery of not only drugs but also hundreds of firearms, including a machine gun. New federal court documents provide further information on what investigators found and seized during the raid.
On December 21, ATF agents seized 147 items from Cumings’ home in Plankinton and his business, Mitchell Roofing and Siding. Among the items confiscated were 125 guns, such as rifles, shotguns, and pistols, as well as eight silencers and over 10,000 rounds of ammunition. This discovery was made shortly after Cumings was arrested on drug and stalking charges in Aurora County.
Court documents revealed that Cumings had 3 ounces of THC wax in his bedroom and a scale with meth residue in a safe that only he had access to. The stalking charge against him was due to an incident where he allegedly threatened to hire a hitman to kill a woman. Additionally, Cumings had been arrested earlier in the year for driving under the influence of drugs, while already out on bond for three previous DUI charges.
Cumings is scheduled for a court hearing on July 11 for his cases in both Aurora and Davison Counties. Given the serious nature of the charges against him, it remains to be seen what the outcome of his legal proceedings will be.
