Sandhill Mason For Shotgun
posted (August 19, 2015)

29 year-old Tyron Davis, a mason of Sandhill, is in jail tonight after rural police say that they busted him with an unlicensed shot gun.

The incident happened yesterday on the Phillip Goldson Highway when police found Davis walking on the Phillip Goldson Highway with 16 gauge shotgun in his hand. When they stopped and searched him, he couldn't produce a valid license, so they continued to search him. That's when they found six cartridges for the 16 gauge shot gun in his pants pocket.

The police arrested and charged him with keeping an unlicensed firearm, and keeping unlicensed ammunition. He was arraigned before Acting Chief Magistrate Arana, and due to the nature of the offences, he couldn't be granted bail even though he pleaded not guilty.

He was remanded into custody until September 30.
