Missouri witness charged with lying over gun purchase in murder case

Prosecutors accuse John Mark Reidle of lying about a gun purchase in case of shooting deaths at Jewish sites in Kansas City

A federal weapons charge has been filed against a southwest Missouri man who is listed as a witness in a capital murder case in which a 73-year-old man is accused of fatally shooting three people at suburban Kansas City Jewish sites.

John Mark Reidle is accused of lying in his purchase of a Remington shotgun at a Walmart in southwest Missouri on April 9, according to the May 7 indictment. The indictment accuses Reidle of saying on a federal form that he was the buyer "when in fact as the defendant then knew, he was not the actual buyer of the firearm." The indictment does not say for whom authorities believe he bought the gun.

Reidle has pleaded not guilty to the charge of importing/manufacturing firearms and faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $250,000 if convicted.

He is one of about 200 witnesses listed on the Johnson County, Kansas, complaint against Frazier Glenn Cross Jr, as first reported Friday by The Kansas City Star.
