A 20-year-old Louisville man has been federally indicted with possession and trafficking machine guns.

The case is under investigation by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with assistance from the Louisville Metro Police Department, the Shively Police Department and the Kentucky State Police.
