Twenty-five-year-old dancehall deejay Rytikal is to face trial on May 12 in the Gun Court.

The trial date was set when he appeared in court on Wednesday with his attorney, Able Don Foote. His bail was also extended.

The allegations are that on January 28 this year, the police were on patrol in Eight Miles, Bull Bay when Rytikal was seen acting suspiciously.

He was subsequently questioned by the police, and during a search of his motorcar, a gun with 12 rounds of ammunition was allegedly found.

Allegations are that he told the police that the firearm was a prop for a music video.

Rytikal, whose real name is Ryan McFarlane, was charged with illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
