Taxi driver jailed for possession of gun, ammo

Dominic Macklingam, a 29-year-old taxi driver of Craig, East Bank Demerara, was on Wednesday sentenced to two years’ imprisonment for unlawful possession of a firearm and several rounds of ammunition.

Macklingam appeared before Senior Magistrate Sunil Scarce at the Diamond/Golden Grove Magistrates Courts, and pleaded guilty to the charges when they were read to him.

As such, the custodial sentence was imposed on him, along with a fine of $75,000.
He was reportedly arrested last week by Police ranks who responded to a report of domestic violence in Craig.
