A DJ was this afternoon cleared of possessing a gun at a nightclub.

A jury found Gregory (Sheep) Outerbridge not guilty of possession of a prohibited weapon, six rounds of ammunition and of carrying a firearm in a public place.

The jury delivered a majority verdict after three hours of deliberation.

Mr. Outerbridge was found with a Ruger P90 semi-automatic pistol and six bullets after Police received a tip-off he was carrying a bag with a firearm.

He was arrested after leaving Club Ovation in St. George’s on September 11.

Mr. Outerbridge’s defence was that someone planted the gun in his bag as he was DJing at the party, with his bag left unattended in the club.
