single bullet brought a Bush Hall man a fine – and a judge’s warning that now was the time to walk the correct path or face a prison sentence in the future.
Akeem Emmanuel Chung, of Accommodation Road, Bush Hall, St Michael appeared in the No. 5 Supreme Court and admitted to having a single 9mm round on March 6, 2023.
Justice Pamela Beckles told Chung: “I am not going to sit back and say that this is only just one round of ammunition. I always say you don’t dispel ammunition with a guttaperk. You see ammunition? Usually a gun is somewhere around. So I take any rounds of ammunition very serious. I also take into account that this accused man is known to the court and would have been given a chance in not being sent to prison because he was a first time offender. So Mr Chung, if were you, I would not want to see a picture of a round of ammunition or a firearm.
