A Northborough man who was the owner of the now-closed Tite Group Sporting on Hudson Street pleaded not guilty in Worcester Superior Court to charges that he sold guns illegally, according to the Worcester Telegram and Gazette.
Michael A. Wheelock, 65, 34 Hudson St., Northborough, faces charges of six counts of illegal firearm sales that allege that Wheelock sold guns that were not approved by the Gun Control Advisory Board, said the Telegram. With sales that reportedly took place between the end of 2011 through spring of 2012, Wheelock's lawyer argued that he had closed the business and stopped selling the firearms.
Wheelock will be back in court on May 9.
