Brennan Rodriguez, who pleaded guilty to causing the death of T. Boone Pickens' grandson, now faces federal gun charges after being arrested for stalking his ex-girlfriend.

Rodriguez, 33, was charged with illegal possession of a machine gun and illegal receipt of a firearm while under indictment. He had previously agreed to a deferred adjudication probation for his role in Ty Pickens' death in 2013. Following his arrest, police discovered nine firearms in Rodriguez's home, including a rifle with a machine gun conversion device. If convicted of the federal charges, he could face up to ten years in prison.
