Attorney Wendel Alexander says he is moving urgently to the High Court to seek bail for a young mother charged in a firearm matter, citing that her infant child is dependent on her breast milk.
Alexander says that the woman’s boyfriend has admitted ownership of the firearm and ammunition, but the Director of Public Prosecutions has indicated it wants to review the file and consult further with investigators.
The matter involves 21-year-old Terry Williams and 20-year-old Shanyea Crump, both of Nut Grove, who were jointly charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition and remanded to His Majesty’s Prison after appearing before Chief Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel. Firearm offences are not bailable at the Magistrate’s Court.
Police said a Ruger 9mm pistol and seven rounds of ammunition were seized during the execution of a search warrant at a property in All Saints on Monday.
Alexander said bail documents are being prepared, with Crump expected to swear an affidavit as part of the urgent High Court application.

Young lady you kept a boyfriend with a gun illegally,, so to he can secretly kill you with that gun.

It’s time for the law and society to be more stern and less compassionate for people like this and like Darg say she is part of the problem. She is just like many of these young wutless women in Antigua and Barbuda who enable the thiefs, robbers and murdering bums in Antigua. It’s time to take these people out of society and lock dem up and show no compassion because they have no compassion for victims of crimes who they take part in. The only one who deserve compassion is that child and unfortunately that child will be a product of it’s own environment that it’s mother want to provide. She can sit in a room in 1735 under female supervision and breast feed and a nurse can bring bottles and a pump feh to pump milk. Working women in the US and all around the world pump breast milk and place dem in the fridge so why she deserve accommodations and now she wa use she pickney as a way to be on house lock down no.
