A policeman was yesterday accused of shooting at a man during a confrontation and then substituting his own ammunition for some of the rounds he discharged when he later returned his service weapon.
Tactical Services Unit (TSU) rank Ocquema Dawson was remanded to prison after being arraigned on charges of discharging a loaded firearm, unlicensed ammunition possession and damage to property.
It is alleged that Dawson, 27, of 100 Murphy Street, Goed Intent, West Bank Demerara, on February 18, at Georgetown, discharged a loaded firearm at Philip Small, with intent to maim, disfigure or cause him grievous bodily harm.
On the same day, he is also alleged to have had in his possession two live rounds of 9mm ammunition without licence.
