Kenyetta Boynes pleads guilty to gun & ammo charges
In the presence of his attorney Patrick Thompson, after the charges were read and he pleaded guilty, the court heard that on December 18, 2014 as officers of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) moved in on Boynes at his Lower Estate home where he was informed of the search warrant.
In executing the warrant Boynes pointed the officer to his bedroom and above an AC unit they found a bag containing which was later confirmed to be cannabis. The court in fact was told that it was Boynes himself who told the Police Officer, "That's weed, that's mine."
Later that same morning at around 7:30 am Boynes was led by Police Officers to the family business where it was said he was the main man and a search unearthed the weapon, ammunition, a bag and clothing which were found concealed in the ceiling above a conference room/office area.
When the find was shown to Boynes he made no response and he was cautioned and taken to the Road Town Police Station.
The find included clothing, 4 rolls of 7.62 ammunition and a magazine which had 13 rounds of ammunition. One round was in breach in the magazine.
The court also heard that the accused admitting to the drugs, arms and ammunition being his. He had told police that he had found the guns and ammunition in a Ghut in Huntums Ghuts prior, and that he had played around with it and had decided to keep it but had never shot anyone with it.
He also told the interviewing officers that some of the rounds had fallen out in the bag which he had put the gun in.
The father of two, whom as his lawyer reminded had previous convictions, is to return to court February 25, 2015. Given the opportunity through his lawyer, Boynes opted not to say anything in court today but his lawyer said that if he decides on saying anything he will do so in writing which will be submitted to the court.
