A 24-year-old welder began his first day on remand at HMP Dodds after appearing in the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court on a firearm charge.

It is alleged that the accused, Ckeimo Leroy Daren Best, of No. 19 Edgehill Terrace, St Thomas supplied a firearm to Jonell Williams on February 17 and did not have a valid licence to do so.

He was not required to plead to the indictable charge when he appeared before Magistrate Douglas Frederick today with his legal counsel Andrew Willoughby.

The case against him will continue on March 22.
