NASSAU- An ex-con who was allowed to sign bail after lying about his criminal history has been charged.
In April, Antwan Sands posted $40,000 bail for Errol Major who’s accused smuggling guns into the country.
Sands, 50, was approved as a surety after he claimed that he didn’t have any previous convictions or pending matters.
After it was discovered that Sands had lied, he was charged with deceit of a public officer. Additionally, Major had his bail revoked until he found another surety.
Sands has denied the charge and was granted $3,500 bail.
His trial is set for August.
Sands has served prison time for molesting young boys. He also has convictions for fraud.
