Arrest Made: Man who allegedly provided gun busted.

WASHINGTON -- Federal agents have arrested a convicted murderer for allegedly providing the gun later used to kill ex-NFL quarterback Steve McNair.

Adrian J. Gilliam Jr. was arrested Friday morning by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and faces a "felon in possession" charge, a source familiar with the case told ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky.

A criminal complaint unsealed Friday in Nashville says that Gilliam -- who was convicted of second-degree murder and attempted armed robbery in 1993 in Florida -- admitted he sold the gun to the woman who later shot McNair.

Gilliam is in custody in the federal courthouse in Nashville and will appear in front of U.S. Magistrate Judge Clifton Knowles at 4 p.m. ET. The U.S. Attorney's office will ask that he be held without bond, a source told ESPN.com.

McNair was shot to death on July 4 at his condo by his 20-year-old mistress Sahel Kazemi, who then turned the gun on herself.

By having the gun, Gilliam violated a section of the federal code that says it is a felony for any person convicted of a felony to possess a firearm that has moved in interstate commerce. Very few guns are manufactured in Tennessee, so practically every gun in Tennessee has moved as part of interstate commerce, a source told ESPN.com.

Detectives traced the gun to its 2002 sale at a pawn shop, according to the complaint. Gilliam eventually bought it from an individual for $100 about a year ago. According to court documents, Gilliam admitted to detectives he sold the gun to Kazemi for $100.
