‘Dada’ charged after firearm, ammo seized in Spanish Town

ST CATHERINE, Jamaica – A 52-year-old farmer has been charged after a firearm and several rounds of ammunition were reportedly found in his possession during a police patrol in Brunswick Avenue, Spanish Town, St Catherine on September 22.

Charged is Jeffery Nizebeth, otherwise called ‘Dada’ of a Brunswick Avenue, Spanish Town address.

He has been charged with possession of a prohibited weapon and unauthorised possession of ammunition.

Reports are that about 7:30 pm, the police were on patrol when Nizebeth began acting suspicious upon seeing them.

This alerted the police and prompted a search of his person.

One 9mm pistol with a magazine containing nineteen 9mm cartridges was found in his waistband.

Nizebeth was taken into custody and was subsequently charged on Monday, September 25.
