Three men — Judeah Francis of Potters, Jaquan Davis of Skerritt’s Pasture, and Devonne Burton of Paynters — have been committed to stand trial at the January Assizes on multiple firearms and ammunition charges.
The trio appeared before a magistrate in connection with an incident that occurred in June last year, when police reportedly found them with firearms and ammunition. They are also facing an additional charge of attempting to commit a crime with the use of a firearm.
Police allege that the men were in possession of 14 rounds of 9mm ammunition, a black 9mm Browning pistol, and a black Desert Eagle 41/44 Magnum pistol. Francis has also been charged with reckless driving on the public highway at a speed that police say posed a danger to other road users.
The case, which includes 14 exhibits and seven witnesses, has been submitted for trial at the January sitting of the Assize Court.
