Police Constable Tito Benons, who was charged in April with unlicensed firearm possession, led his defence yesterday at a city court, where he maintained that he was on his way to the police station to lodge the firearm when he was intercepted by police.
Benons, who is attached to the Anti-Crime Unit in Berbice, was charged with having in his possession a Smith and Wesson 9 mm pistol and 15 rounds of matching ammunition, on March 26, at Norton Street and Louisa Row.
The rank, who is unrepresented, has been on remand since his arraignment.
