Trainee Teacher Arrested On Gun Charge
A female trainee teacher – who reportedly attends a prominent teachers’ college in Western Jamaica – and her boyfriend, are among five persons who were arrested and jointly charged yesterday with illegal possession of firearm and ammunition.
The trainee teacher has been identified as 18 year old Kadian Hylton of Bottom Cambridge in St. James. Her boyfriend was identified as 29 year old Joshua ‘Joshie’ Anderson of Paradise, Norwood, St. James.
According to police reports, at approximately 3 a.m. yesterday morning, a white Toyota Corolla with one female and four female passengers was stopped and searched by the police along the Cambridge main road. A Sig Sauer 9mm pistol was reportedly taken from the waistband of the woman. According to the police, the group were responsible for firing a barrage of shots earlier that night at a dance in Seaford, Westmoreland.
Yesterday’s seizure comes just days after a 13 year old St. James school girl was held with a gun in her school bag.
