A MAN was sentenced to two and half years in prison after admitting to owning two guns recovered when police raided his house last weekend.

Walter Fox, 39, and Cordero Miller, 29, were charged with possessing firearms with intent to supply and possessing ammunition.

The two faced an additional charge of possessing dangerous drugs with intent to supply.

Police entered the defendants’ residence on John Street on July 15. Authorities recovered a black Sig Sauer G3C 9mm pistol, and a black Taurus 9mm pistol. During their arrest, the defendants were also found with 14 rounds of 9mm ammunition and a three-quarter ounce of Indian hemp.

Fox pleaded guilty to all three charges, while his co-accused pleaded not guilty. The charges against Miller were withdrawn.

Fox was sentenced to two and a half years for the offence. He was fined $3,000 for gun charges. He could face an additional six months in incarceration if he fails to pay. Fox was also fined $300 for the drug charge.
