A MAN was granted bail after he was allegedly found with a loaded gun on Junkanoo Beach last week.

Magistrate Lennox Coleby charged Phillip Brown, 22, with possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition.

Officers reportedly approached a group of male suspects gathered at Junkanoo Beach after midnight on November 13. When the defendant saw the officers, he, along with the other males, fled on foot, but Brown was caught.

Brown was allegedly found with a black 9mm Taurus G3C pistol and fifteen rounds of 9mm ammunition on his person.

After entering a not-guilty plea, Brown’s bail was set at $9,500 with one or two sureties. Under the conditions of this bail, he must sign in at the Elizabeth Estates Police Station every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday by 7pm.

Brown’s trial begins on January 22–23, 2024.
