20 year-old Allan Moody is at prison tonight serving out a 5 year sentence after he was convicted of firearm offences before the Chief Magistrate today.
Moody stood trial in which police officers testified on January 30, at around 5:30 p.m., they were on mobile patrol when they visited the Jane Usher Basketball court. There, they saw Moody, who was in the company of other persons. They searched him and found a black 9mm pistol with 8 live rounds. He was charged with keeping an unlicensed weapon, and keeping unlicensed ammunition.
Moody offered his defense saying that he had no gun on him, and he also called a witness to the stand who said that the gun was under the bleachers.
After reviewing all the evidence, Chief Magistrate Ann Marie Smith found him guilty of both offences, and sentenced him to serve a total of 10 years in prison. The sentences will run concurrently, so Moody will only serve 5 years in jail.
