admitted possessing fireworks and ammunition at the Airport in October.

After five months on remand at Westgate Correctional Facility awaiting a Supreme Court trial, Lorenzo Robinson was released on $2,000 bail with one surety before sentence.

Robinson, 20, of North Street, pleaded guilty to possessing the fireworks and 102 rounds of REM .22 calibre ammunition.

He denied importing the fireworks and ammunition -- which are illegal without a permit.

Recently, his case was turned back by a Supreme Court judge who had it remitted down to the lower courts. Robinson had elected a Supreme Court trial.

It is not known the reasons why the high court case was dismissed, but it is understood Robinson jumped at the new chance to admit the lesser charge of possessing the illegal explosives and bullets.

He was arrested at Bermuda International Airport on October 4.

Mr. Warner released Robinson on $2000 bail, after prosecutor Cindy Clark objected to the $500 bail asked for by his lawyer Elizabeth Christopher.

He was also required to surrender his travel documents and report to Police.

DRUNK DRIVER BANNED CTS Drunk driver banned A Devonshire man was taken off the road for a year last week after he pleaded guilty to riding his auxiliary cycle while impaired by alcohol.

Michael Brian Smith, 36, of Devon Spring Road, apologised to Magistrate Archie Warner and promised that it would never happen again.

He was stopped by the Police on Church Street on March 11 when they saw him "swerving persistently'' on his red auxiliary cycle.

When talking to Smith, they noticed that his breath smelled strongly of intoxicants.

"It was a stupid thing to do,'' he said. "I apologise and it won't happen again.'' Mr. Warner said he had no discretion in passing sentence. He handed Smith a fine of $600 and disqualified him from driving all vehicles for 12 months.

GUILTY PLEA TO BURGLARY CTS Guilty plea to burglary A Paget man pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary in Supreme Court.

Rick Roydell Simmons, 36, of Cobbs Hill also pleaded not guilty to another charge of burglary and escaping custody.

The charges date back to between August and October of last year.

The Department of Public Prosecutions will not be seeking a trial date on the two not guilty charges.

However Simmons will appear in Supreme Court on May first for other unrelated charges.

It is expected that all three matters will be heard on the same day.
