Ammo possession lands La Penitence man in jail

A La Penitence, Georgetown, man who was in possession of three live rounds of ammunition, was on Tuesday remanded after he appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
Shawn Appru of Second Street, Middle Road, La Penitence denied the charge when he stood before the Chief Magistrate at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
The 42-year-old man denied that on January 22, 2018, at Second Street, La Penitence, he had in his possession three live rounds of .38 ammunition.
Defence Attorney Mark Conway in a bail application told the court his client resides in a four-apartment building. According to the lawyer, the section of the building where the ammunition was found is abandoned and as such he requested reasonable bail.
However, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Stephen Telford told the Court that Appru led ranks to the ammunition.
Magistrate McLennan denied the defence’s bail application and Appru was remanded to prison. The case will continue on February 7.
