A MAN accused of threatening the lives of two people with a gun on Faith Avenue earlier this month was remanded to prison yesterday.
Prosecutors allege Akeem Thompson, 20, endangered the lives of Lau’Kai Roberts and Robenson Philogene with a handgun in Cyclops Estate on June 3.
Later that same day and at the same place, Thompson was allegedly found with a black Glock 17 9mm pistol and seven rounds of ammunition.
