Dog Paw firearm trial starts today

The firearm trial of reputed gang leader Christopher ‘Dog Paw’ Linton is set to get underway in the Gun Court today.

Linton is charged with illegal possession of a firearm.

He was charged following the discovery of a gun in a house where he was hiding.

It’s reported that a joint police-military team had gone to a house in August Town, St Andrew in January last year to capture the reputed gang leader who had eluded several dragnets.

It’s further reported that during a search a firearm allegedly belonging to Linton was found in a refrigerator.

Linton was subsequently arrested and charged with illegal possession of the firearm.
