Man Caught with Loaded Gun outside Night Club

Korey Usher

Police have arrested and charged twenty-eight-year-old Korey Usher for firearm offences after he was nabbed with a loaded handgun outside a nightclub on Saturday. Meanwhile, the owner of the establishment has indicated that the same man was previously banned from the premises. Eruption Night Club put up a Facebook post on September tenth in which it states that “Korey was not busted inside the establishment as circulated by news outlets. Korey had been banned prior to this occasion, therefore was not permitted to enter the establishment last night.

Personnel present at the club identified that Corey was in possession of a firearm and alerted the police department which then led to his quick detention outside the establishment”. The statement went on to inform the public that Eruption Night Club allows no one inside the establishment with any kind of weapon. Meanwhile, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Hilberto Romero says they do not know why Usher had a loaded weapon on him.
