And in other political news relating to the police - Mica Goodin may lose his gun license. This, of course in addition to his post as Deputy Mayor - which, we learned just a short while ago - that he has resigned from - more on that later.
But, first to the gun matter. Today, the commissioner said that the councillor had not, one but two firearms - and that police are now in possession of both:
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"I know that police had gone to Micah's house and removed another licensed firearm that he had because he had two licensed firearms and he has since been written to asking for him to show cause why his gun license should not be lifted. I checked with my legal office just a few minutes ago to ascertain if in fact he had received the letter asking to show cause. I have not received a legal response from the office so I cannot say if we will remove it or no but I cannot at this stage prematurely state that his license will be revoked, that would be tantamount to making a decision without having given him the opportunity to be heard and so I will await for his response to the letter that was written to him and based on his response then I will determine whether or not the license will be repealed."
And shortly after the interview the COMPOL, via voice note, clarified that Goodin and James had only just received the letters to which they must respond giving an adequate explanation why their gun licenses should not be revoked. Both men will have fourteen days to contest.
But, as you heard at the top of this story, Councilloor Mica Goodin is basically saying no contest to his follow city councillors who have supported a resolution saying that he should step aside as Deputy Mayor. This evening he called to confirm that he has resigned. If not the council would have voted to remove him tomorrow.
