    What in the world is he doing with this kind of weapon??? These things are used in a war zone. Things are getting very scary here and I do hope they find him. SMDH!

      Not just him because a few high powered weapons were used to commit quite a number of shooting on the island already. The police even stated that one was used in the west end shooting , so those guns are nothing new on the island. What is disturbing is the fact that so many were able to make their way into our once quiet and peaceful community SMH

    When asking for the public help, please provide better photos. Especially considering what the person is charged for.

      Mugshots should be taken and posted for every person who has been in trouble with the law so we can know who people are and become more aware of our surroundings.

    Stop covering for your young men, allowing the biker culture/lawless mentality reign on this island. These young guys show absolute disregard for the law and safety on the roads, and the Police seemingly let it continue. So why wouldn’t they believe they can do whatever the heck they want?
