The 31-year-old, whose given name is Linval Thompson Jr, was remanded this morning when he appeared in court on a charge of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.

A bail application is to be made for dancehall producer Shab Don on November 10 in the Gun Court.

The 31-year-old, whose given name is Linval Thompson Jr, was remanded this morning when he appeared in court on a charge of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.

His co-accused Romaro Scott was also remanded and will return for a bail application on the same date.

The defendants were arrested and charged after an illegal gun was reportedly found in their possession in Old Harbour, St Catherine earlier this month.

Attorney-at-law Tom Tavares-Finson is representing Scott while Donahue Martin is representing Thompson.
