A POLICE reservist was granted bail on Friday after he was accused of possessing an unlicenced firearm and a magazine in New Providence earlier this week.

Macquez Alexander Porter, 21, was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley on charges of possession of an unlicenced firearm and possession of a component of a firearm.

Prosecutors allege Porter was found with a black Glock .40 pistol and a black 9mm magazine on 22 April.

He pleaded not guilty.

Bail was set at $5,000 with one or two sureties. Porter must sign in at the Elizabeth Estates Police Station on the second and last Friday of each month under the terms of his release.

He is scheduled to return to court for trial on 15 July.

Inspector Deon Barr prosecuted the case.
