NASSAU- A priest’s son will receive no criminal record for possession of ammunition.
Police arrested Etienne Bowleg Jr after they found three rounds of ammunition inside a Ford Expedition owned by his father following a high-speed chase in 2009.
Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson ordered Bowleg to keep the peace for one month after he pleaded guilty to possession of ammunition.
The Court directed jurors to acquit Bowleg of charges related to an alleged shootout with police after the prosecutor offered no evidence in support of the allegations.
Prosecutors had alleged that Bowleg had a firearm with the intent to put the lives of Reserve Constable 26 Dennis Clarke, Reserve Constable 775 Patrick Minnis, Constable 2895 Shenique Ford and Sergeant 987 Alexander Pierre in fear.
While on bail for the charges, Bowleg was allowed to travel to Florida to comply with probation conditions imposed by a court there.
