Armed Police surrounded a nightclub DJ who was allegedly caught red-handed with a gun in the centre of St. George's, Supreme Court heard.

One of the officers, Sergeant Michael Thomas, drew his weapon and shouted "armed Police!" as his colleagues detained Gregory (Sheep) Outerbridge.

Another witness, Constable Shannon Lawrence, told Outerbridge's trial how a Ruger P90 semi-automatic pistol was found in a laptop bag slung over his shoulder. It was loaded with six live hollowpoint rounds.

The trial heard from various Police officers yesterday how they received information that Outerbridge, 28, had a bag with a gun in it on the night of Friday, September 11, 2009.

He had been DJing a party that night at Club Ovation in Water Street.

Armed Police stationed themselves outside the club and followed Outerbridge when he exited at 3.30 a.m. on September 12. He got on the back of a motorbike ridden by Tarik White.

PC Lawrence was with Sergeant Jason Ming in a marked Police car that followed the bike. They signalled for it to pull over outside the old Police station in York Street.

According to PC Lawrence, Mr. White addressed Sgt. Ming, saying "hey Jason, what's up?" after he pulled the bike over. When Sgt. Ming instructed Mr. White to turn the bike engine off, PC Lawrence said: "I noticed Mr. White start to back the vehicle up and then an immediate acceleration was heard.

"From Mr. White's actions I immediately alighted from the marked vehicle. Using my left hand I took hold of Mr. Outerbridge and with my actions, Mr. White and the vehicle had fallen to the ground.

"I immediately rushed Mr. Outerbridge backwards, having my hand on his chest, and shouting "armed Police, put up your hands!"

It was at this point, according to a written statement from Sgt. Thomas, that he drew his Glock 17 pistol and covered Mr. White until both men were detained.

According to PC Lawrence, Outerbridge's reaction was to tell Police: "I was just coming from the club."

He denied there was anything in the bag the Police needed to know about but shook his head from side to side then dropped it to his chest when the gun was found.

According to PC Thomas, Mr. White commented upon being detained: "I don't know nothing about a firearm."

Outerbridge, of Jacob's Point Drive, St. David's, denies possessing a firearm and bullets and possessing a firearm in a public place.

The prosecution case concluded yesterday, and defence lawyer Charles Richardson indicated that Outerbridge will give evidence today.
