Ewayne Price, a Kingston music producer, who told investigators that imitation firearms found at his home were being used as props in music videos, has been sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment and life behind bars under the controversial Firearms Act.

On February 10, Price was convicted in the Supreme Court (Gun Court) of eight counts of possession of prohibited weapon and stockpiling prohibited weapons after a joint police-military operation uncovered eight imitation firearms at his Grants Pen Drive, Kingston 8, home on December 28, 2023.

Under the sentence handed down last Friday, the 47-year-old will serve 15 years’ imprisonment on the possession charges and life imprisonment for stockpiling prohibited weapons.
