Farmer on bail charged with firearm offences

A Trelawny farmer was arrested and charged for breaches of the Firearms Act when he reported as a condition of his bail in another matter, at the Falmouth Police Station last Saturday.

Rushane Campbell, 29, otherwise called 'Tman', of Bounty Hall has been charged with shooting with intent, possession of prohibited weapon and the use of a prohibited weapon to commit a felony.

Reports are that Campbell was involved in a dispute with another family member on Wednesday, March 1, when he left the location and returned with a firearm. He allegedly chased the family member and fired several shots at him. The man managed to escape injury and reported the incident to the police. Campbell was subsequently arrested and charged. His court date is being finalised.
