A CUSTOMS officer was remanded to prison over allegations that he was reportedly found with an unlicensed firearm last week.
Marco Smith Jr appeared before Deputy Chief Magistrate Andrew Forbes after he was accused of being in possession of a black coloured Springfield Armory pistol on December 5.
He denied the allegation and the case was adjourned to March 18, 2021 for trial.
Due to the nature of the charge, Smith Jr was denied bail and remanded into custody until that time.
He has a right to apply to the Supreme Court for bail.
