Joseph Barker was yesterday remanded to jail after he pleaded not guilty to possession of a firearm and ammunition.

It is alleged that on February 11 at Georgetown, Barker had in his possession one .38 revolver when he was not the holder of a firearm licence.

It is also alleged that on the same day and place Barker was found with five rounds of .38 ammunition.

Barker’s attorney Peter Hughes asked for an early date for trial after Magistrate Hazel Octave-Hamilton remanded Barker. His trial is set to begin on May 19.
