City Magistrate Alex Moore remanded a man to prison yesterday after he pleaded not guilty to a charge of unlawful possession of firearm and ammunition.
Devon Garraway, 24, of 317 East Ruimveldt, Georgetown denied that he had a .32 revolver in his possession along with 24 rounds of matching ammunition on September 6, at East Ruimveldt, when he was not the holder of a firearm licence.
His next court date will be on October 13, for reports.
Prosecutor, Corporal Shawn Gonsalves, told the court that the defendant was arrested by the police during a sting operation. He added that a search was conducted on Garraway’s person and the illegal gun and ammo were found.
The prosecutor objected to bail on the ground that no special reasons were provided to satisfy the court.
Garraway, who was unrepresented by an attorney, explained to the court that the items did not belong to him. He added that he was sent by his roommate to uplift a package containing food stuff and clothes. Additionally, he claimed that he is innocent of the charge since he had no knowledge of what was concealed inside of the package.
The defendant said that on the day in question, the police pounced on him and placed the allegation to him.
