A MAN was granted bail yesterday after being accused of possessing a loaded firearm earlier this month.
Magistrate Lennox Coleby arraigned Dwight Bethel, 29, on charges of possession of an unlicenced firearm and possession of ammunition.
Prosecutors allege that Bethel and accomplices were found with a black Glock 19 9mm pistol and 13 rounds of ammunition on February 7 in New Providence.
Bethel pleaded not guilty to the charges.
His bail was set at $7,500 with one or two sureties. As part of his bail conditions, he will be fitted with a monitoring device and must adhere to a residential curfew from 8pm to 6am.
He must also sign in at the Elizabeth Estates Police Station every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday by 6pm.
Bethel’s trial is scheduled to begin on March 31.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Lincoln McKenzie served as the prosecutor.
