TWENTY-SEVEN-YEAR-OLD Delan Stephens, otherwise called Six Boss, a bike taxi operator of Shanty Town in Little London, Westmoreland, was on Sunday charged with illegal possession of firearm and assault at common law, stemming from a dispute he had with a teenage boy on Wednesday, August 31.

A police release Monday said about 5:00 pm on the day in question Stephens, along with another man, were involved in a dispute with the teenager on Top Road, Little London. The men allegedly left and returned, armed with a rifle, and fired a shot in the air while threatening the teen. They again left the area but later returned and pointed a handgun at the teen. The boy ran and a report was made to the police.

The police visited the scene and found evidence of what the teen reported — a spent casing.

An investigation commenced which led to Stephens being apprehended during an operation on

Thursday, November 17 and subsequently charged. His court date is being arranged.

The police says they are, meanwhile, pursuing Stephens’ accomplice.
