The trial of former Bellevue police chief on a gun charge is scheduled to continue Thursday despite the threat of a winter storm.
John Stacey is being tried on a misdemeanor gun charge for loaning a handgun to Gretna's former City Administrator Colleen Lawry, who did not have the proper handgun certificate.
Stacey's lawyer, James Martin Davis, has said Lawry was capable of owning a gun, but failed to apply for the $5 county permit.
Lawry was sentenced to six months in jail in December on theft charges, and prosecutors dropped the gun charge against her. She is set to testify at Stacey's trial on Thursday.
On Wednesday, a state patrol investigator testified that Lawry's daughter had called authorities to report that her mother had a gun, but no permit.
