A man has been sentenced to prison after a routine traffic stop led to the discovery of an illegal firearm and ammunition.
Roan Hector was handed a two-year and two-month sentence for illegal gun possession, alongside a concurrent nine-month term for ammunition possession.
Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel delivered the ruling on Thursday.
The charges stemmed from an incident on 27 April, when police observed Hector’s vehicle reversing suspiciously along American Road near police headquarters.
Officers stopped the car and conducted a search, uncovering a firearm in a black shopping bag. The weapon was loaded with ten rounds of 9mm ammunition.
Local laws require custodial sentences for illegal firearm offences. With the sentences running concurrently, Hector will serve a total of two years and two months in prison.

Sad to see how many illegal firearms are out there these days.
Wonder what made the officers search the vehicle in the first place?
If you’re carrying an illegal weapon, why risk driving recklessly? Doesn’t make sense.
I’m just glad no one got hurt in the process.
Mr Pompey, what would you recommend?
Even the son of a Police will not be spared if caught with an illegal firearm….
Pretty soon this inept government will be crying to the citizens for more money to improve their prison with the amount of illegal guns that are in this tiny nation.
Meanwhile you have Gatson Browne crying to Marko Rubio about gun trafficking. America would never stop making guns Gatson, so you better find a better way to fix the corruption at your ports where all these guns are coming in.
But we all know that crime prevention and immigration has never been your strong suit. Your strong suit is the corrupt CIP and anything to swindle the citizens for more taxes to pay for your many terrible decisions over the past 11 years.
The same question remains Gatson.
Where has all the CIP money gone?
Over a Billion dollars..uummm!
Good for him. He purposely “missed” the recently concluded gun amnesty?
@Islanman
Idiosy should be excruciatingly painful
@faithful.
Bwoi even your great great grandfather from the grave knows that I’m no idiot.. 😂.
What I speak of your foolish PM has come to pass over and over. He is what he is, but for Antigua to be stuck with someone who suffers from the ” dunning syndrome effect” is what really pains me.
No good will ever come from this man your master, because money and greed has corrupted him.
He keeps looking back for his riches like Lots wife..he is not about the people, he’s about his pocket..
So faithful, this idiot will continue to denounce your so-called Lord Gatson Browne, without apology!
Great job officers! Keep Antigua safe.
