A 22-year-old male was sentenced to two years in prison after admitting to having a loaded gun on Robinson Road last month.

Magistrate Lennox Coleby charged Alexander Dorsett with possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition yesterday.

Dorsett was arrested near a business on East Street and Robinson Road after police found him with a black Sig Suer P365 pistol with six rounds of 9mm ammunition on January 25.

After pleading guilty to the charge, Dorsett was sentenced to 24 months at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.

He was informed of his right to appeal sentencing in seven days.
