A security guard charged with stealing firearms and gun parts from an ATF storage facility in West Virginia is on the lam.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Trumble issued a bench warrant after Christopher Lee Yates of Martinsburg failed to appear at a preliminary hearing on Wednesday morning in federal court, The Trace reports.

Yates had been free on bond since March 6. He’s turned over his passport and, according to the conditions of his release, he was under curfew from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. every day, and was not allowed to leave the area, The Trace reports.
