The accused was charged with multiple firearm offences after police observed him pull a handgun from his satchel during a takedown.
The accused fled through a schoolyard and was arrested shortly after without the firearm.
A loaded handgun was found the next morning in the schoolyard along the accused's flight path.
The court rejected the accused's testimony as not credible and found that the circumstantial evidence, combined with the officers' observations, proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused possessed and discarded the firearm.
The accused was found guilty on all counts.
