A MAN was sent to prison after he was allegedly seen walking with a loaded gun at his waist on Lily of the Valley Corner last weekend.
Magistrate Lennox Coleby charged Jacky Auguste, 23, with possession of an unlicenced firearm and possession of ammunition.
Auguste was allegedly seen walking with a gun around 2pm on December 3. When the accused spotted officers, he allegedly attempted to run away and tossed the weapon during the chase.
After Auguste was caught, officers recovered a black Taurus G3 pistol with eight rounds of 9mm ammunition from the surrounding area.
After Auguste pleaded not guilty to the gun charges, the prosecution objected to him getting bail until they have had time to do a background check on him.
