An Olympia man has pleaded guilty to illegal gun selling following an investigation that began with an undercover federal agent purchasing a revolver from him at a gun show in Centralia, according to Seattlepi.com
News reporter Levi Pulkkinen writes today that David Devenny – the 69-year-old also accused of selling the gun allegedly used by Christopher Montfort to kill Seattle Police officer Tim Brenton – is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 23 in U.S. District Court.
Devenny was accused of selling guns to a convicted felon and a person with a domestic violence conviction.
A former Bremerton police officer pleaded guilty last week to unlawful dealing in firearms, in a case that also began with the undercover operations at guns shows in Washington.
