A MAN was granted $7,500 bail yesterday after he was accused of having a loaded gun in the Nassau Village area last Friday.

Magistrate Lennox Coleby charged Andreaz Evans, 24, with possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition.

Ian Cargill and Levan Johnson represented the accused. 

Police on mobile patrol stopped the defendant in the Nassau Village area around 6pm on September 22. Evans was arrested after police allegedly found him with a black Smith & Wesson Springfield 9mm pistol and five rounds of 9mm ammunition.

After Evans pleaded not guilty to the charges, his bail was set at $7,500 with one or two sureties for each charge. He is expected to report to East Street South Police Station every Monday, Wednesday and Friday by 6pm. 

His trial begins on October 26.
