Two Men Fined $24,000 on Gun and Ammunition Charges
Radford Lawrence of College Street, Green Bay, and O’Marie Nedd of Potters were each fined $12,000 on separate firearm and ammunition offences in the St. Johns Magistrate’s Court.
Lawrence was fined $5000 for unlawful possession of a firearm and $7,000 for unlawful possession of ammunition.
On March 21, the police executed a search warrant on a property occupied by Lawrence at St. Johnson’s Village and found a modified flare gun, along with several different caliber rounds of ammunition, including three .380 rounds, three 9mm rounds, one .45mm round and a spent .32mm shell.
He was taken into custody and charged.
Meanwhile, O’Marie Nedd was fined $10,000 for unlawful possession of a 9mm pistol and $2,000 for two matching rounds of ammunition.
On Monday, 8 April around 1:40 am, members of the Special Services Unit (SSU) were on patrol duty in the city, when they saw Nedd on Corn Alley behaving suspiciously.
As the officers approached him he ran and they gave chase and eventually caught him with the illegal weapon.
He was taken into custody and charged.
Both men appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Wason on Tuesday, 9 April, and were given three months to pay the fines or serve three months at His Majesty’s Prison.

We need stricter punishment, 3 months? They’ll be back on the street with another one to rob or kill somebody family member. I think a minimum of 5 years in prison will make them think twice about having gun to kill ppl. I’m tired of all these f….ing robberies. Oh my God. Just lock them up and throw way the key. Waste humans
The law need to be revised for illegal firearm possession. They will go rob somebody to pay those fines as it’s a practice with them robbing people
May they surrender their will to God and change their destiny
these guys don’t seem to care when they get in problems with the law, they take to social media to post the most illiterate things like there are proud
