A St Catherine man who allegedly threatened a woman with a gun then tried to flee Jamaica was granted bail in the sum of $1 million when he appeared in court on Friday.
The accused, who is a former member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, is charged with possession of a prohibited weapon, unauthorised possession of ammunition and assault.
He appeared in the St Catherine Parish Court, where the successful bail application was made on his behalf.
He was granted bail on condition that he surrender his travel documents and report to the Portland police weekly.
He was warned not to be in contact with complainant.
It is alleged that the accused had a dispute with the complainant during which he reportedly pointed his licensed firearm at her and threatened to harm her.
The matter was reported and an investigation launched.
He was held after he boarded an outbound flight at the airport.
He was represented by attorney-at-law Denise Hinson.
