POULSBO — A Poulsbo man was arrested for unlawful possession of firearms June 21.

Christapher B. Harris, 38, allegedly posted vehicles and vehicle parts for sale on the Craigslist website and, according to the report, indicated he was “willing to take guns on trade.”

Harris was previously convicted of felony burglary and possession of stolen property in 1992, and did not have gun ownership rights.

Kitsap County Sheriff’s officers arranged to meet Harris at the Kitsap Mall parking lot and agreed to deliver three firearms and cash for a truck engine. After the sale was made, officers arrested Harris.

He was charged with three counts of second-degree unlawful possession of firearm, and booked into Kitsap County Jail on $100,000 bail.
