Firearm and ammo accused remanded
An East Ruimveldt man who allegedly had in his possession an unlicensed firearm and ammunition was remanded to prison yesterday when he appeared before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
Twenty-two-year old Carl Anthony James pleaded not guilty to the charge of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.
It is alleged that on September 3 in Georgetown, James had in his possession one .45 pistol and one live round of .45 ammunition.
Attorney-at-law Vic Puran stated that his client was apprehended in relation to another offence and the present charge comes to him as a surprise. The defence attorney then applied for bail.
The prosecution objected to bail and Magistrate Octive-Hamilton ordered that James be remanded to prison. He will return to court on December 5.
