Couple remanded for possession of ammunition

Aug 26, 2008 News

Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton yesterday remanded an 18-year-old female, Okemo Todd, and Charles Rawlins, 21, both of Ketley Street, Charlestown, for possession of ammunition.
It is alleged that on August 21, they had in their possession three rounds of 9 mm ammunition without being holders of valid firearm licenses, they both pleaded not guilty to the offence.
The couple was represented by attorney at law Patrice Henry, who in his bail application told the court that defendant Todd is the mother of a six-month baby and she is a home maker. The attorney told the court that Rawlins shares the same address as the other defendant; he is a vendor at the Stabroek market and is her reputed husband.
Henry told the court that the day in question the couple had a visitor and it was after the person had left the home that the police came and conducted a search of the premises. The attorney said it was this same person who made the report to the police.
Police Prosecutor Desire Fowler however objected to bail.
She said that on the day in question the police visited the house and a search was conducted.
The ammunition she added was found in a suitcase that the two share in their home. Fowler said that bail should not be granted because of the seriousness of the matter and the fact of the prevalence of those matters. 
Bail was denied and the matter is to reconvene on November 25.
