A MAN was remanded to prison after allegedly being found with an unlicenced rifle in his Coconut Grove home last week.
Magistrate Lennox Coleby arraigned Alvin Etienne, 25, and Henrica Tilme, 21, on charges of possession of an unlicenced firearm.
The pair were reportedly found with a black M&P Smith & Wesson .22 rifle at their 7th Street residence around 2.30am on August 23.
Both defendants pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Tilme was granted bail at $7,500 with one or two sureties, while Etienne’s bail hearing was deferred until today. Until then, he will remain in custody at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
The trial date for the pair will also be set today.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Lincoln McKenzie served as the prosecutor.
