THREE men and a minor were arraigned in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday on several illegal ammunition and firearm possession charges.

Michael Fox, 28; Philano Forbes, 24; Kyle Jones, 25 and a 17-year-old stood before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt after police allegedly found them with a black Glock .45 pistol and 26 live rounds of .45 ammunition on November 12.

Police also alleged the group, being concerned together, were found with a .45 extended magazine on the same day.

During yesterday’s arraignment, all of the defendants pleaded not guilty to possession of an unlicensed firearm, possession of ammunition with intent to supply and possession of a component part of a firearm.

The matter was subsequently adjourned until November 17 and bail was also deferred until that time.

The defendants, with the exception of the minor, were remanded to prison until their next court appearance.

Meanwhile, the teenager was ordered to be sent to Simpson Penn Centre for Boys.
