GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM)- An illegal immigrant who ran a cleaning service in Grand Rapids was arraigned on federal weapons charges Monday.

Oswaldo Garces is charged with unlawful transport of firearms. Because he is in the country illegally he is not supposed to have weapons. Immigration Enforcement raided Garces' business Clean Tech Services and May 20 and found at least four rifles and shotguns in a safe.

According to court documents, Garces came to the United States from Equador in 1993 on a business visa. He outstayed that visa and has been here illegally since 1994.

Garces is out on bond until his next hearing.
