SOURCE: ANTIGUA OBSERVER- A male resident of Villa was sentenced to two years and eleven months in prison on Friday after he pleaded guilty to charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.

Emerson Alexander appeared before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel at the All-Saints Magistrate’s Court, where he was sentenced for both charges stemming from incidents that occurred earlier this month.

Alexander had previously entered guilty pleas to both counts of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and Unlawful Possession of Ammunition. For the firearm charge, Magistrate Emanuel imposed a sentence of two years and eleven months. On the ammunition charge, Alexander received a one-year sentence.

The court ordered both sentences to run concurrently, meaning Alexander will serve the longer term of two years and eleven months rather than consecutive sentences totalling nearly four years.

As part of the sentencing, Magistrate Emanuel ordered that both the firearm and ammunition be confiscated by authorities and logged at the Police Armory, ensuring the weapons cannot return to circulation.

  1. It will send a stronger message if these terms were to run consecutively..

    Where you at you waste of an AG, Sir Knighted?

    This is something you could have been fighting for, but no, you are steady coming up MIA.

    Bwoi Antigua salt salt with these jokers in power. Criminals just doing whatever and practically getting away with it..

    Can’t wait for the next election to see if y’all put these fools back into power.

    I know there is no perfect politicians out there, but this track record on gun crimes in Antigua leaves a lot to scratch one head. Again, wake up people, your island is going to shits.
