Gunman pleads guilty, will do 5 years in prison

Twenty-five year old Kenneth Daniels, an unemployed of West Street, was fined twenty-one thousand one hundred dollars today in Magistrate’s Court after he pled guilty to charges of Keeping a Firearm Without a License, Wounding, Damage to Property, and Discharging a Firearm in Public. Magistrate Roberto Ordonez fined Daniels ten thousand dollars each for the firearm and ammunition, five hundred dollars for Wounding, three hundred and fifty dollars for Damage to Property, and two hundred and fifty dollars for Discharging a Firearm in Public. He ordered Daniels to pay five thousand dollars forthwith but Daniels was unable to do so and will instead serve consecutive sentences amounting to five years in jail. The incident occurred on July nineteenth on Frederick Street at the house of Daniels’ eighteen year old girlfriend, Kendra Madrill. Madrill reported to the police that Daniels came to take her to his house to have sex and when she refused, beat her. She said Daniels then left, but returned about fifteen minutes later with a nine millimetre pistol and fired three shots at her house. One of the bullets penetrated the metal louver of one of the windows and damaged a television set. Police apprehended Daniels on New Road shortly after the incident. When they searched him they found the pistol in the front of his pants with four rounds in the magazine and another four inside one of his tennis shoes.
