Jamil Grant Charged with Firearm Offences

Also busted with an unlicensed gun and ammunition was 30-year-old Jamil Grant. According to police, on Saturday afternoon Grant was standing behind an SUV that was parked on the shoulder of the George Price Highway in the 8 Miles Community when police observed him taking something out of his pants and then running towards a bushy area. Officers set chase and saw the male person throw the firearm into a swamp and continue to run. About 200 yards from where the firearm was thrown Grant was apprehended. Grant was then taken back to the area where the firearm was thrown- it was a Colt .45 pistol with one live round. Grant could not provide a license for the firearm and he was detained.  Here again, is Senior Superintendent Hilberto Romero with more details,
