A MAN was sentenced to three years in prison yesterday after admitting to possessing a loaded gun on Alexandria Boulevard last weekend.
Magistrate Lennox Coleby arraigned Jekeil Johnson, 32, on possession of an unlicensed firearm and possession of ammunition charges.
Prosecutors said police spotted Johnson at 1.55am on March 15. When officers approached, he fled, discarding a Walther PPX 9mm pistol with one round of ammunition before being apprehended.
Johnson pleaded guilty and accepted the facts of the case.
He previously served an 18-month prison sentence for a gun-related offence in August 2023.
For his latest charge, he was sentenced to 36 months at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Lincoln McKenzie prosecuted the case.
