A WOMAN was granted bail yesterday after she was allegedly found with a loaded gun in her car in Eleuthera earlier this week.

Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville arraigned Natasha Miller, 34, on charges of possession of an unlicenced firearm and possession of ammunition.

The defendant was allegedly found with a black Smith & Wesson pistol and a quantity of ammunition in her car near Queen’s Highway in Eleuthera at 12.30pm on September 3.

Miller pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Prosecutor Inspector Deon Barr objected to bail but requested that conditions be attached if it were granted.

Nathan Smith, the defendant’s attorney, noted that his client was the mother of a four-year-old child and had no prior convictions.

Miller was granted bail of $6,000 with one or two sureties. She must sign in at the Rock Sound Police Station every Monday and Friday by 6pm.

Her trial is set to begin on April 15.

Miller’s family was present in court to show support.
