A self confessed gunman has been warned that should he be caught with another illegal firearm he could face life imprisonment.

Justice Carlisle Greaves was dealing with Nathaniel Kevon Gordon in the No. 3 Supreme Court.

“If you are found with a firearm again and you return to the court and are convicted, you are facing life imprisonment. There is a new law in Town which suggest you are entitled to 20 years to life on top of the offence you committed.

“So the choice is yours. I say no more. The rest is left to you,” the judge said.

Gordon, of Tudor Bridge, St Michael, was back for sentencing after he had pleaded guilty to possession of a .38-calibre revolver and 14 rounds of ammunition on May 31, 2015. (HLE)
