A MAN was remanded to prison yesterday for allegedly having a loaded gun on Second Street earlier this week.
Magistrate Raquel Whyms charged Malcolm Rolle, 21, with possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition.
Police on mobile patrol stopped the defendant after he was caught acting suspiciously outside a business on Second Street around 2am on September 18. A search of Rolle allegedly uncovered a black Taurus G2 9mm pistol with the serial number erased, along with a black magazine containing ten rounds of 9mm ammunition.
The accused was on bail for a pending armed robbery charge at the time of his arrest.
After pleading not guilty to the gun charges, Rolle was sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until his bail hearing on September 22.
