Last week Tuesday, August 26th 18 year old Ryan Alvarez came to our newsroom, showing his injuries and telling us that police had brutalized him. And the case was, as it is always said to be, for no good reason. But yesterday police had good reason to string up Alvarez again.
A police mobile patrol on Castle Street just after midday saw him riding very fast to elude them. The tracked him down – and when they did, officers claim he threw something into a nearby yard. That something turned out to be an unlicensed.380 pistol. Police recovered it from the yard, and charged him with keeping an unlicensed firearm.
He appeared in Magistrate’s Court today where he pleaded not guilty. Still, he was denied bail and remanded to prison.
