A MAN was granted bail yesterday after being accused of threatening another person’s life with a flare gun earlier this month.

Devon Forbes, 40, was arraigned before Magistrate Lennox Coleby on a charge of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

Forbes allegedly threatened the life of Brian Sturrup with a flare gun in New Providence on July 1.

The defendant was not required to enter a plea and was informed that his case would proceed to the Supreme Court via a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).

Assistant Superintendent of Police Lincoln McKenzie, who served as the prosecutor, raised no objections to bail.

Forbes was granted bail in the amount of $7,500 with one or two sureties.

His VBI is scheduled to be served on September 18.
