Businessman fined $30 000 for ammo

For having 50 rounds of .32 Smith & Wesson long rifle calibre ammunition on February 15, 2019 without a valid permit, Joseph Kenneth Jordan was ordered to pay a $30 000 fine.

He has until January 24 to pay the first $10 000 and another year to clear the balance, failing which he will have to spend six years in jail.

Last year a jury returned a 7-2 verdict against Jordan, 70, of No. 33 Flamboyant Avenue, Sunset Crest, St James. Justice Wanda Blair presided over the trial and handed down the sentence yesterday.
