Redmond woman charged with unlawful delivery of firearms

SEATTLE — A 21-year-old Redmond woman was charged in King County Superior Court with the unlawful delivery of firearms.

According to charging documents, Hanna Anderson Tan delivered a firearm to a known convicted felon on or about June 24, 2018 and on or about July 21, 2018.

On Feb. 23, agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives executed a search warrant at 14300 Greenwood Avenue North in Seattle.

Police said from record checks, phone GPS information and surveillance they knew the residence belonged to Daniel Lovre -- a convicted felon.

In their execution of the warrant, police said they found 12 fully-assembled firearms along with partially-assembled firearms.

According to charging documents, Hanna Tan was in the residence when Lovre was arrested.

Tan said she was Lovre’s girlfriend and that she purchased the guns knowing that Lovre was prohibited from possessing or owning firearms, according to police.

Tan also reportedly told police she purchased multiple firearms for Lovre as gifts.

Police found Firearms Transactions Records from both Lynwood Gun and West Coast Armory that confirmed the purchase of the guns found in a safes at Lovre’s residence, according to charging documents.

Tan stated she did not know the access code to Lovre’s safes, police said. Investigators said her last known address was in Redmond.

The deputy prosecuting attorney on the case identified Tan as a West Coast Armory employee in charging documents. But the store owner told KIRO 7 she never worked there, and that the store helped with the investigation.

After an inquiry from KIRO 7, the King County Prosecutor's Office said it made a mistake in charging documents and that Tan worked at an unrelated business. She did not work at West Coast Armory.

Tan was released at her first court appearance on her promise to appear based on her lack of criminal history, police said.

The court required Tan to have no new law violations, make all court dates, to update her address with the court and to have no contact with Lovre, according to charging documents.

She's expected to have an arraignment to enter a plea in May.
