A MAN was sentenced to 30 months in prison yesterday after admitting to having a loaded gun in his Eleuthera home last week.
Magistrate Lennox Coleby arraigned Cameo Barry, 33, alongside Evashio Barry, 38, and Eardley Barry, 63, on charges of possession of an unlicenced firearm and possession of ammunition.
Cameo Barry faced an additional charge of possession of dangerous drugs.
During a search of the residence on Grass Patch Road in The Bluff, police reportedly found a silver and black .40 Smith & Wesson pistol at 7.45am on March 19. Officers also allegedly discovered one 9mm round, one .40 round, and a small quantity of marijuana.
Cameo was the only defendant to plead guilty. His co-accused pleaded not guilty, and the charges against them were withdrawn after Cameo accepted full responsibility.
He was sentenced to 30 months in prison for the firearm and ammunition charges. For the drug charge, he was placed on 30 months’ probation, with an additional six-month custodial sentence if breached.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Lincoln McKenzie served as the prosecutor.
