A MAN was sentenced to three years in prison yesterday after he admitted to having two loaded firearms in 2021 and 2022.
Allen Knowles stood before Magistrate Kendra Kelly on two counts of possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition each.
On October 22, 2021, Knowles was arrested in New Providence after he was found with a .40 pistol with 13 unfired rounds of .40 ammunition.
Then on January 17, 2022, the accused was once again apprehended after being found with a Taurus G2C 9mm pistol and 13 unfired rounds of 9mm ammunition.
In his latest appearance before the magistrate, Knowles reversed his earlier position and pleaded guilty to all charges.
Magistrate Kelly sentenced Knowles to two years in prison for the 2021 offence and three years for the 2022 offence, to be served concurrently. However, 14 months will be deducted from Knowles’ overall sentence due to time already served at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
