How so? Happenstance that it happened where it did? Happenstance that they went shopping and found someone who was wanted accidentally? Happenstance that they hadn't arrested enough people that week and randomly rolled someone up?
Coworker said his brother heard reports on the scanner about Gander calling the local PD about someone trying to buy a lot of guns.
Let's go to Gander Mountain and...

Couldn't be buying to many guns unless they were looking for muzzle loaders. Thats about all they will find.

So...why are we assuming it was ATF if the guy's shirt said FBI?
I'll say this from my own experience. People overhype the crap out of things they see, especially involving law enforcement. They aren't actively making it up, its just not what they expected and with the adrenalin dump their minds go into overdrive.
As an example, I had a guy who'd given me a tip about the location of a guy with a B felony warrant calling and telling me "the SWAT team kicked in the door at the wrong house" and described the door getting kicked in and all the while the target was not home and watching from the neighbor's house during this huge SWAT operation. Well, I knew that was BS because I was the lead detective and hadn't been contacted about getting a search warrant for the house. I looked into what actually happened, which was a few uniformed officers knocked on the door and did a consent search of the house for the suspect and then left.
So, the point is, maybe it went down just like she said, but that doesn't make it a huge bust for some gun trafficking thing. It could just be a local fugitive squad picking someone up after following them to the store, etc. etc. Could be lots of things, none of which require the person telling the story to be intentionally deceiving in her account of events.

i saw some a black ford escape in town today. had some sort of badge looking logo on the drivers door. i tried to get a better look assuming he had one on passenger door but didnt.
triangular badge with small and short lettering. michigan civilian plate. i want to say it looked like an ATF logo but i wouldnt think theyd advertise, but a private business, like a security firm, would indeed have their name plastered all over. who knows.
