TWO MEN were each granted $7,500 bail after they were allegedly found with a loaded gun in their car near Soldier Road north late last month.
Magistrate Lennox Coleby charged Deon Johnson, 30, and Jamiko Roxbury, 35, with possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition.
Johnson alone faced a charge of possession of dangerous drugs.
Roger Minnis represented the accused.
Johnson was allegedly found with a quantity of Indian hemp on August 25.
Police on mobile patrol reportedly stopped the defendants in a black Ford Ranger in the area of Soldier Road north at around 12.15am on August 26.
The pair pleaded not guilty to all charges. While both accused were each granted $7,500 bail for the gun charge, Johnson’s bail was set at $2,500 for the drug charge with his sureties able to sign both.
Johnson is expected to sign in at Kemp’s Bay Police Station on the 27th of every month. He is also to report in to police any time he goes fishing at sea.
Roxbury is expected to sign in at the East Street south Police Station on Sundays by 5pm.
The trial in these matters begins on September 25.
