A St Catherine man who was allegedly held with an imitation firearm at his home was on Tuesday granted $600,000 bail with surety in the parish court.
Jevaughn Uhuru is charged with possession of a prohibited weapon.
In applying for bail, his attorney Davion Vassell argued that his client has a steady place of abode, that the weapon allegedly seized is not one that can fire, and that he will fully cooperate and abide by any conditions of his recognisance.
Parish Court Judge Venese Blackstock-Murray granted bail on condition that he reports daily to the Spanish Town police.
The matter will again be mentioned on September 21.
Allegations are that on August 15, 2026, police conducted an operation along Barrett Street, Spanish Town, St Catherine.
During a search of a premises, an imitation firearm was allegedly seized.
Uhuru was arrested and subsequently charged.
