A MAN was sentenced yesterday to two years in prison after admitting to having a gun in his home in Elizabeth Estates last week.
Magistrate Lennox Coleby arraigned Trevor Morris Jr, 25, on charges of possession of an unlicenced firearm and possession of ammunition.
Morris Jr was arraigned alongside Trevor Morris Sr, 52, Karen Morris, 53, Tiara Morris, 23, and Brandon Miller, 29.
During a search of the residence, police found a black Glock 19 pistol and ten rounds of 9mm ammunition in a clear plastic bin in Morris Jr’s bedroom. An additional round of ammunition was discovered in a dresser drawer.
Morris Jr was the only defendant to plead guilty, accepting full responsibility for the weapon.
Following his admission and the not-guilty pleas of the other four defendants, the charges against them were withdrawn.
Morris Jr was sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine or face an additional year in custody.
Before being taken into remand, he was allowed a moment with family members present in court.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Lincoln McKenzie served as the prosecutor.
