Man granted $1.3M bail on firearms, ammo & narcotics charges

Edinho Lewis, a 37-year-old unemployed man, has been granted bail totaling $1.3 million after facing multiple charges of possession of firearms, ammunition, and narcotics.
Following an initial remand to prison after his arraignment last month, Lewis’s attorney, Bernard Da Silva, renewed the bail application during a court appearance on Friday. Lewis is facing two narcotics charges and three charges for possession of firearms and ammunition. He has denied all charges.
Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty presided over the case and set bail for the narcotics charges at $300,000 each while he was granted bail for the firearms and ammunition-related charges at $250,000 each thus totaling $1,350,000.

The case has been adjourned to August 9 for further reporting and fixture.
The charges stem from a June 8, 2024, incident when police, acting on information, searched Lewis’s residence at Lot 126 Da Silva Street, Kitty, Georgetown. The search revealed a significant cache of weapons and narcotics.
According to the police report, officers discovered one AK-47 rifle, one Glock 26 pistol, 830 live 7.62 ammunition, four live .223 ammunition, nine live 9mm ammunition, two live .32 ammunition, three AR-15 magazines, one AK-47 magazine, three Glock magazines, one scale used for weighing narcotics, one gun silencer, a quantity of ecstasy, 107 grams of cocaine, and 544.3 grams of cannabis.
