Authorities say multiple firearms and components used to convert semi-automatic pistols into fully automatic weapons were recovered from 18-year-old Daniel Russell Chevre Jr.

Chevre was arrested and remains in the Blue Earth County Jail pending formal charges.

Three additional family members — 37-year-old Cassandra Lynn LeTourneau, 55-year-old Todd Richard Wyberala and 62-year-old Christine Joanne Pinc — were also arrested on drug-related offenses.

The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities say no additional information is currently available.
