Family of four locked up for illegal ammunition

While David Pauper was spared jail time, a family of four was remanded to prison on firearm charges. An early morning search at the home of thirty-eight year old Emelia Horn yielded a point twenty-five caliber gun and four live rounds of corresponding ammunition. Emelia was charged along with her son, nineteen year old Jerry Horn, her seventeen year old daughter and her nephew, nineteen year old Sherman Rodney, who is also a suspect in a recent robbery. All four were charged with one count of Keeping an Unlicensed Firearm and Keeping Unlicensed Ammunition in the court of Magistrate Tracy Sosa, but only Jerry pleaded guilty. Magistrate Sosa, however, rejected his guilty plea after he said that he was only taking responsibility for the weapon because he doesn’t want his sister to go to jail. Meanwhile, Emelia claimed in court that the police ransacked her home and planted the weapon there. The family is expected to apply for bail in the Supreme Court.
