The defendant in an assault case involving a gun tries to continue his case again. Brice Peeler was in court Thursday afternoon seeking a continuance in the trial over events that took place in September of 2012.

The events leading up to Peeler’s arrest involved brandishing a gun and pointing it at the victim’s head. Fortunately Peeler did not shoot the victim. However, Ferguson says the DA’s office will not tolerate gun crimes.
