Deportee found w/ unlicensed gun … again

While homicide detectives are working overtime following the spate of shootings in the old capital, their colleagues at the Anti-Drug Unit are also keeping busy. Last Thursday, a mobile unit detained thirty-three year old Arthur Young with a nine millimetre pistol loaded with twelve rounds of ammunition. However before Young could be taken into custody, he managed to escape. Young eluded capture until sometime last night when he was rearrested. Today he was charged with handling stolen goods, resisting arrest, failure to report to authorities following his deportation, keeping an unlicensed firearm and possession of unlicensed ammunition. He appeared before Magistrate Dorothy Flowers this morning where he pleaded not guilty to the offences. Young was offered bail of five thousand dollars, which he met, leaving him free to walk out of court this afternoon. The matter has been adjourned until October fourth. Tonight we understand Young also has another case pending involving separate charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.
