Wedding house ‘Bad Man’ held with illegal gun

Jan 23, 2013 News

 
A man who tried to be a ‘Bad Man’ at a Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara wedding house is now cooling off in the lock-ups of the Beterverwagting Police Station.
The man was arrested on Monday night by a member of the Mon Repos Community Policing Group after he brandished an unlicensed gun at a guest at the wedding house with whom he had a misunderstanding.
Police in a statement yesterday said that at about 23:45 hours on Monday, “acting on information received, members of the Mon Repos North Community Policing Group conducted a search on a man at a wedding house at Mon Repos.  An unlicensed .38 Taurus pistol with four matching rounds was found in his possession.”
Kaieteur News understands that the man who was apparently under the influence of alcohol, sent several persons scurrying when he whipped out the gun and threatened to shoot another man with whom he was having a heated argument. He did not cater for the presence of rural constables keeping watch for any unruly behaviour outside the wedding house.
He was soon identified and one of the RCs searched him and found the weapon. The man reportedly told police that he found the gun.
It is not too clear if the man was waiting to rob any of the guests at the wedding house, but investigators are now in the process of carrying out ballistics tests on the weapon to see if it was involved in any criminal activity.
The man is expected to be placed before the courts soon.
