A Charlestown, Georgetown teenager was on Thursday arraigned with two gun related charges by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan after he appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Seventeen-year-old Colin Denny of Lot 41 Charles and Howes Streets, Charlestown, denied both of the charges after it was read to him.
The court heard that on June 13, 2018, while in the vicinity of Howes Street, he had in his possession .32 pistol and one matching round without being the holder of a firearm licence.
Denny’s defence Attorney Keshia Chase in her bail application told the court that on the day in question; her client was in the company of six other males when Police visited the area.
She noted that upon seeing the officers, the other males fled the scene leaving Denny behind. Chase further told the court that the weapon was not found in her client’s possession but rather on the roadway.
However, Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield told the court that the weapon was indeed concealed in Denny’s crotch. Bail was denied and he was remanded to prison until July 4.
