Anti-gun activist arrested after firearm found at home

A Springfield woman who began lobbying against gun violence after
her son was shot to death in 2002 was arrested last week when police
allegedly found an illegal gun and drugs in her home.

Annette "Flirty" Stevens, however, said Monday she's innocent, and
the arrest is an attempt by police to get her to give up information
about unsolved crime in the city.

The handgun, which had a scratched-off serial number, and drugs
allegedly were discovered Friday morning inside Stevens' home in the
2500 block of South 15th Street. Authorities said they obtained a
search warrant for the residence as part of an ongoing investigation
of a recent series of drive-by shootings. No one has been hurt in
the gunplay.

Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
assisted in the search.
