Sealy, of Scotts Gap, Brittons Hill, St Michael, had pleaded guilty to having a Taurus 9mm Luger pistol, as well as 11 bullets on October 7, 2022; that being in lawful custody, having been arrested for possession of a firearm and ammunition, he escaped without the use of force, on October 8, 2022 and that he had six rounds of ammunition on October 13, 2022.
