NASSAU-The decision to keep a gun for a friend cost a man his freedom and resulted in the arrest of his entire family.
Police descended on Shane Davis Jr’s home on Alexandria Boulevard, Nassau Village on Emancipation Day, just two days after “his boy” dropped off the .380 pistol.
They arrested his parents, brother and his child’s mother, who had stopped by to visit.
Davis wasn’t there when police found the loaded gun in the dresser drawer in his bedroom.
However, he turned himself into police and owned up to the gun after officers arrested his relatives and baby’s mother.
Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt sentenced Davis to 15 months in prison. He’ll serve 12 more months if he doesn’t pay a $6,000 fine.
Prosecutors dropped the charges against the four other defendants, resulting in their release.
