McCowin: At the time of the shooting Saturday, a bench warrant had been issued for McCowin to answer charges filed in late June, according to District Judge Joel Toluba's office.

The charges, filed June 29, allege McCowin had marijuana and a firearm while inside a car in the 700 block of West Mason Avenue on the night of Oct. 19, 2017.

Court documents state that McCowin fled the vehicle when police pulled it over for an inoperable registration lamp.

McCowin, a convicted felon, is not allowed to have a firearm, according to police.  As of Tuesday, July 17, McCowin had not been arraigned on the charges.

He faces charges of prohibited possession of a firearm, carrying a firearm without a license, drug possession with intent to deliver and flight to avoid apprehension.
