An Indiana man who would make trips to Chicago with a gym bag full of guns and sell them from a porch on the West Side could be sentenced to five years in federal prison after being convicted of illegally selling the weapons to gang members and felons, officials said Thursday.

Willie Lee Biles Jr., 44, was convicted by a jury in U.S. District Court in Chicago on Wednesday of willfully dealing firearms without a license, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Biles faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, officials said. U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis scheduled a sentencing hearing for Nov. 16.

Officials said that in fall 2013, Biles made several trips on a Megabus to Chicago from his Indianapolis home. As he traveled each time he had a gym bag holding handguns, officials said. Officials said Biles bought more than 30 guns from licensed dealers in Indiana and brought them to Chicago to sell.
