Graphic designer gets trial date for possession of gun, ammo

Jan 28, 2014 News

The trial date for a Graphic Designer reportedly nabbed with four live rounds of ammunition and a Luger pistol magazine was yesterday set by the Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry after he made his first court appearance on account of the crime.
Yesterday, the graphic designer, Delon Morgan, of Lot 149 D’Andrade Street, Newton, pleaded not guilty to the charges of possession of firearm and ammunition when it was read to him at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court. He was remanded.
The charge stated that on January 25, last, in Georgetown, he had in his possession four live rounds of 9mm rounds of ammunition and Luger pistol magazine whilst he was not the holder of a firearms licence.
On February 20 which is the date scheduled for the commencement of his trial, the Prosecution team headed by Inspector Michael Grant will attempt to utilize their four witnesses to prove their case against the accused.
About 20:40 hours last Saturday the police were on patrol when they saw Morgan walking on a road with a black plastic bag in his hand.
Grant said that the ranks observed him acting in a suspicious manner so they approached and thereafter conducted a search on him.
He explained that whilst nothing was found on his person, when the plastic bag was checked therein contained the firearm and ammunition.
The Inspector objected to bail being issued to the accused. He told the court that this crime was committed whilst Morgan granted a court bond at the Providence Magistrates’ Court for a charge of Robbery Under Arms.
Morgan, who was unrepresented, said that he is currently charged at Providence for robbery but according to him it was merely his cellular phone which was used in that matter.
In response, the Chief Magistrate, ordered him held in custody until his next court date for the commencement of his trial.
