Tonight, 25 year-old Randy Jones, a construction worker residing on Mopan Street, is at prison after police allegedly busted him with a firearm on Saturday.
According to police, a team of officers were on mobile patrol, when they saw Jones riding on his bicycle on Mahogany Street.
According to police, the officers saw clearly that when Jones spotted the vehicle, he lifted his shirt up, pulled out an object, threw it in a nearby yard, and tried to ride away before they caught up.
The officers said that they immediately detained him, and took him back to the area where he threw the item. They discovered that it was a 9 mm Ruger brand pistol, which was loaded with 9 live rounds of ammunition.
As a result, they charged him with keeping an unlicensed firearm, and keeping unlicensed ammunition.
Today, he was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Anne Marie Smith, who remanded him to prison until his next court date, which is scheduled for October 16.
