Having a licensed for a firearm is one thing, but a license holder can't be drunk with his weapon. That's what Belmopan police alleged when they charged 28 year old Architect Jerome Gill last week Friday. He was remanded on charges of possession of a weapon whilst under the influence of alcohol and disorderly conduct. The police alleged that on May 30th in Belmopan, Gill was drinking he had his licensed firearm. Today in a Supreme Court bail hearing, his attorney Dickie Bradley said that neither a blood nor urine sample were taken, which are requirements to prove the charge of possession of firearm while under the influence of alcohol.
The charge stands, but Gill was released on bail of $5,000 by Justice Adolph Lucas.
