TWO men were on, Thursday, August 08, 2019, freed from a firearm possession charge by Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus due to insufficient.

Jason Augustine, 29, and 25-year-old Kevin Bobb-Semple were on trial at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court for the indictment which read that on October 12, 2018, at Croal Street, they had in their possession a black-and-silver 9mm pistol, which they were not licensed to carry.

According to reports, Bobb-Semple was at the wheel of the vehicle, PNN5156, and Augustine riding ‘shotgun’ when Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) ranks intercepted it ( the car ) and found the weapon on the back seat.

The Magistrate on Thursday ruled that, based on the evidence presented to her, the vehicle in which the gun was found was not registered to the two defendants but belonged to their employer.

However, the Magistrate noted that two theories could have been established and those were that the firearm was left in the motor car by the previous user or that it belonged to the two defendants.

However, no evidence was presented by the prosecutor to prove either of the theories and the Magistrate dismissed the matter against the duo.

“Gentlemen do not come back to court” the Magistrate warned the men as she dismissed the charge against them.
