A MAN was fined $6,000 after admitting to having ammunition and a gun magazine at his residence on Asphalt Drive last weekend.

Magistrate Lennox Coleby arraigned Deon Ferguson, 27, yesterday on possession of a part of a firearm and two counts of possession of ammunition.

During a search of his residence, police found a round of .233mm ammo and a 9mm round in Ferguson’s bedroom on January 25.

Officers reportedly found a black Ruger magazine on the roof of Ferguson’s bedroom.
