Man flees court before being sentenced for gun possession

The police have launched a manhunt for a man who fled court in downtown Kingston ahead of being sentenced for gun possession.

On the run is Allman Town resident Anthony Williams, who is already serving time behind bars for a separate gun offence.

It is reported that Williams escaped custody by jumping from the Supreme Court building onto Tower Street.

He was set to be sentenced today following a recent conviction for possession of a firearm.

Onlookers were astonished to see what transpired.

One woman said, “Mi can’t believe ah up deh so him jump from and no injured. Him just run gone.”
