Spe­cial Re­serve Po­lice Chris­tine De­owah was in­car­cer­at­ed at the Women’s Prison last evening af­ter she was un­able to post her $1.5 mil­lion bail.

De­owah, 31, was grant­ed bail af­ter ap­pear­ing in the Point Fortin Mag­is­trates Court on three charges stem­ming from the dis­ap­pear­ance of a firearm and am­mu­ni­tion from the Ce­dros Po­lice Sta­tion last year.

De­owah, who was last as­signed to that sta­tion, is charged with lar­ce­ny of a gov­ern­ment firearm and am­mu­ni­tion.

The oth­er charge of mis­be­hav­iour in pub­lic of­fice al­leged that as a serv­ing mem­ber of the po­lice ser­vice, she hid the firearm and am­mu­ni­tion.

The items were al­leged­ly dis­cov­ered miss­ing from a room in the po­lice sta­tion on June 20, 2019.

How­ev­er, her col­leagues car­ried out a search and even­tu­al­ly found the firearm and am­mu­ni­tion hid­den in a derelict ve­hi­cle on the sta­tion's com­pound.

De­owah, who has been an of­fi­cer for six years, was ar­rest­ed at her Ce­dros home two Sun­days ago.

She was charged by ASP Bri­an Ram­phal.

Pros­e­cu­tor Sgt Jesse Jit­mans­ingh did not ob­ject to bail as she had no pre­vi­ous con­vic­tions or pend­ing mat­ters.

How­ev­er, he asked First Court Se­nior Mag­is­trate Ali­cia Chankar to at­tach con­di­tions to her bail.

The moth­er of one was rep­re­sent­ed by at­tor­ney Mick­ey Din­di­al. The mag­is­trate grant­ed her bail with the reg­is­trar of the court ap­proval and al­so or­dered her to sur­ren­der her pass­port. De­owah al­so has to re­port to the Point Fortin Po­lice Sta­tion twice a week.

The mat­ter was ad­journed to to­day for the pros­e­cu­tor to pro­duce the firearm and am­mu­ni­tion in court.
