A MAN who had a banned assault rifle in his home last week has been sentenced to 30 months in prison.
Elisha Dumercy, 30, and Glendysha Hanna, 22, stood before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt. There, they faced charges of possession of a prohibited weapon and possession of ammunition with intent to supply.
On June 9, at the defendants’ residence on Rosedale Street, officers acting on a search warrant uncovered a black Nato Diamondback 5.56mm Assault Rifle with the serial number erased.
This prohibited weapon was also found with 26 unfired rounds of 5.56 ammunition.
Ms Hanna pleaded not guilty, and Dumercy pleaded guilty to all charges. The charges against Hanna were formally withdrawn.
Dumercy was sentenced to 30 months in prison for the offence, plus a fine of $5,000 or risk an additional 12 months in custody.
