In April of last year, 54 year old auto mechanic Edward Westby got off a charge of abetment to carry firearm and ammunition without a gun license.

Well, he was brought to court today and charged a second time with the same offence. He pled not guilty to the charge before Magistrate Dale Cayetano. He was released on a bail of $1,000 and his case was adjourned until February 25.

According to the allegation, on April 23, 2014, 19 year old Malik Stuart was seen handing a 9 millimeter pistol to Westby right after Patrick Bevans was gunned down on Jane Usher Boulevard. The police had pursued Stuart and said they saw the hand over when they caught up with Stuart. The gun turned out to be the licensed property of Westby. Stuart was charged with kept firearm and ammunition without a gun license while Westby was charged with abetment.
