Man charged for wearing bullet proof vest

A computer technician was charged for presumably wanting to preserve his life. Today, twenty-five year old Paul Gibson of Nurse Seay Street was charged with possession of a prohibited material. Gibson pleaded not guilty to the charge, but admitted that he wore a bullet-proof vest for protection because he had been robbed four times this year. Chief Magistrate Margaret McKenzie explained that no bail could be offered and Gibson will spend Christmas behind bars until his case is heard on December twenty-ninth. The incident occurred shortly after ten last night when police saw Gibson on Mahogany Street and conducted a searched on him for drugs and firearms. The search revealed he was wearing a white bullet-proof vest with no markings which should not be in a civilian’s possession.
