Wheeling Men Indicted on Firearm Charges
WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA – A federal grand jury indicted two Wheeling, West Virginia men on firearm charges, announced Acting United States Attorney Betsy Steinfeld Jividen.
Eban Joseph Keith Beyah, age 45, was indicted on one count of “Unlawful Possession of a Firearm.”
Beyah, having previously been convicted of burglary and several drug-related charges in Commons Pleas Court in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, is accused of possessing a 9mm pistol in Ohio County on June 2017.
Charles C. Ansley, Jr., age 37, was indicted on one count of “Unlawful Possession of a Firearm.” Ansley, having previously been convicted of burglary in Commons Pleas Court in Lucas County, Ohio, is accused of possessing a .22 caliber revolver in Ohio County on August 2017.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen L. Vogrin is prosecuting both cases on behalf of the government. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Wheeling Police Department are investigating both cases.
An indictment is merely an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
This case is not a reflection on the community, but rather a reminder of the importance of following the law and respecting the rights of others.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Wheeling Police Department have worked tirelessly to bring these cases to justice.
