Twenty-three year old Ronald Michael, a part time delivery man of 31 Lovely Lane, was charged with kept firearm and ammunition without a gun license when he appeared in court yesterday. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.  Senior Magistrate Sharon Fraser explained to him that the court cannot offer him bail because of the Firearm Act. She remanded him into custody until December 11. The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. on Friday, October 26. The police reported that they were on motorcycle on Giles Street in the St. Martin De Porres area when they saw Michael and another person walking on Giles Street. The police said that Michael began to act suspicious when he saw them so they stopped Michael and searched him.

The firearm and ammunition were labeled as exhibits.
