A 19-year-old man was left in custody after admitting to a weapons offence on Monday, as prosecutors dropped the case against three others arrested in the same police stop.<\/p>

Jeremy Floyd of George Street pleaded guilty before Acting Chief Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel<\/strong> to possessing a modified flare gun. He was remanded until Jan. 5, when sentencing is expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three remaining men \u2014 Niah Joseph, 19; Devontia Summer, 21; and Duran Benjamin, 21 \u2014 were released after the prosecution withdrew the charges against them.<\/p>

Police say the four were detained during a mobile patrol on Dec. 27 after officers stopped a silver Honda Fit in the western section of the island. A search of the vehicle uncovered a modified flare gun concealed beneath a seat.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

All occupants were initially charged, but only Floyd admitted responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modified flare guns are treated as prohibited firearms under local law because they can be altered to discharge live rounds.<\/p>
