AN Eleuthera man was sent to prison yesterday for the importation of firearms to the island earlier this month.
Roberto Scavella, 23, represented by attorney K Munroe, faced Magistrate Kendra Kelly on six charges. These include possession of a firearm with intent to supply and conspiracy to import firearms, two counts of importation of firearms as well as two counts of possession of an unlicensed firearm.
On September 23 in Eleuthera the accused, being concerned with others, is accused of importing and being in possession of two black Taurus G2C 9mm pistols, serial numbers: ADE417256 and ADE423056.
In court Scavella pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Prosecutor Sergeant Vernon Pyfrom objected to him being given bail, resulting in it being denied. He was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
Scavella’s trial is scheduled for December 5 and 6.
