A MAN was granted bail yesterday after allegedly being found with a loaded gun in his car on St Alban’s Drive last weekend.
Magistrate Lennox Coleby arraigned 28-year-old Kenan Saunders on charges of possession of an unlicenced firearm and ammunition.
Saunders was reportedly found with a black Austria Glock 19 9mm pistol and 15 rounds of ammunition when police stopped his black Chevrolet Tahoe at 2am on August 31.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Saunders’ attorney, Alex Dorsett, argued his client, who is employed as a fisherman, was a suitable candidate for bail.
Bail was set at $7,000 with one or two sureties. Saunders must sign in at the Fox Hill Police Station every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday by 6pm.
He must also adhere to a residential curfew from 8pm to 7am and will be fitted with a monitoring device.
Magistrate Coleby warned Saunders against associating with “bad company” and prohibited him from interacting with anyone already on bail or wearing a monitoring device. Saunders was also cautioned not to tamper with his monitoring device, as doing so could result in his bail being revoked.
The trial is set to begin on November 4.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Lincoln McKenzie served as the prosecutor.
