Held In Trelawny With Illegal Gun
A St Mary man out on bail on a gun charge has been charged again, with another gun offence after he was held in Trelawny.
Charged is 24-year-old Neil Walters, a construction worker of Charles Town, St. Mary.
Reports from the Falmouth Police are that about 9:40 p.m., Monday, August 28, a team of officers was conducting a Vehicular Check Point operation on the Salt Marsh main road in Trelawny.
They signalled the driver of a Toyota Isis motor car to stop and he complied. The vehicle and its occupant were searched and one Colt Commander .45mm pistol fitted with a magazine containing three .45mm cartridges was found in the possession of the occupant.
Following an investigation, it was revealed that Walters is on bail for a similar breach of the Firearms Act.
He was arrested and charged with possession of a prohibited weapon and unauthorized possession of ammunition.
