Man Fined $30K for Gun and Ammo | Barbados News
Description
A man named Devene Rhanelda Gale-Forde faces a $30,000 fine after being caught with a loaded 9mm Glock and 17 rounds of ammo—part of a state-wide crackdown on gun violence. The judge emphasized Parliament’s zero-tolerance stance, with penalties rising sharply as part of a broader public safety crisis. Police caught him fleeing during a marijuana-related stop on August 26, 2025, and later found more ammo at his home. Though he pleaded guilty, the judge still imposed steep payments: $20K immediately, $10K by December 19—or jail time if he defaults. This case signals how seriously courts are treating illegal firearms and their impact on communities.
