A MAN was sentenced to 18 months in jail yesterday after he admitted to having a loaded gun last week.

Magistrate Raquel Whyms charged Jimmy Jean, 23, with possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition.

Police arrested Jean in New Providence after they found a black and silver coloured Smith & Wesson pistol and eight unfired rounds of 9mm ammunition in his possession on September 14.

Jean faced a gun charge after he was accused of having a black Austria Glock 31 pistol last December.

After pleading guilty to his most recent charge, the defendant was sentenced to 18 months at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
