Sixth form student pulls gun on cop

A Junior College student will not make orientation this school year as he finds himself behind bars tonight on charges of Aggravated Assault upon a police constable. Twenty year old Akeem Tyrone Lord was arrested on Friday after he allegedly pulled a gun on Police Constable Harold Grinage. According to Grinage, he reacted by pulling out his licensed weapon and shooting Lord in the left leg. As soon as he was discharged from the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital today, Lord hopped into court and was slapped with three charges: Aggravated Assault, Keeping an Unlicensed Firearm and Keeping Unlicensed Ammunition. He was remanded by Revenue Magistrate, Edd Usher and despite efforts by Attorney Ellis Arnold to have a special waiver, it was not granted. The case was adjourned until September twenty-third. But Lord has other problems he must face. Despite his absence in court on Monday, Lord along with two other suspects was charged with Possession of a Controlled Drug. The two others were twenty-nine year old Ernest Young and thirty-two year old Anthony Mejia. But luckily for Lord and Young, Mejia took the wrap for the weed and was fined five hundred and fifty-dollars plus cost of court. Mejia’s case was adjourned until September twenty-fourth. The charges against the men followed an incident last Friday afternoon on North Front Street when police rounded up a tinted black Nissan Altima car and its three occupants. Police allege that it was Lord who pulled out a black hand gun from his pants waist and turned around towards PC Grinage and that’s when PC Grinage shot him.
