William (Billy) Bowden, 33, pleaded guilty in a Winnipeg courtroom today to carrying a firearm in a careless manner in January 2007 and skipping out on his preliminary hearing about a year later.

Police discovered a Glock 9mm handgun loaded with 18 bullets in a pile of garbage close to where the...
