GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) - Former police officer Edward Scott Yancey will be tried April 6 in federal court in Mississippi on a firearms charge.If convicted, the former volunteer coach for the Long Beach Recreation League faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Yancey pleaded not guilty Wednesday in federal court in Gulfport.

Last November, Yancey was arrested by Long Beach, Miss., police

during that investigation, Yancey was found to be allegedly in
