A Waterloo police officer assigned to a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms task force filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids charging Chavee âVeyâ E Laun Harden, 30, of Waterloo; Antione Deandre Maxwell, 32, of Mason City; and Dennis Brown Jr., 37, of Waterloo, with interference of commerce by violence.

The six-shot .22LR is a traditional cowboy wheel gun, with a long-spurred hammer, fixed front sight, and rear notch. Due to the short length of the barrel, the revolver does not have an on-board ejection rod. Instead, the guns ship with a simple wood-handled ejector pin tool for use in manually removing spent cases.
