One More For Stolen Shotgun
posted (April 19, 2012)
Last night we told you about the 6 people who were arrested by police and arraigned for handling stolen goods and unlicensed firearms charges. The upshot of it was that a 19 year-old pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 13 years in prison, and the other 6 persons were remanded to prison.

Well, today, a seventh person was brought to court and arraigned for those very same offenses.

49 year-old Allison Major, a cabinet maker of 39 Kelly Street, was charged with 2 counts of handling stolen goods, 2 counts of keeping an unlicensed firearm, and one count of keeping unlicensed ammunition.

Major told Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer that he doesn't know why he was charged because he doesn't live at the address. He said that he handed himself into police because said that he heard his name in the news.

Senior Magistrate Frazer informed him that be-that-as-it-may, he stands charged with these people so someone named him as a person living at the house. He responded that he only has a visiting relationship with Yvette Lynch, one of the unfortunate victims of her son, Kent Lynch's, decisions.

Nonetheless, Senior Magistrate Frazer was forced to remand Major until May 17.
