Rev Al on gun charge – Clergyman in trouble for his missing licensed firearm
NEARLY EIGHT months after he was charged with perverting the course of justice and harbouring a fugitive, head of the Fellowship Tabernacle Church, the Reverend Al Miller, is in trouble again with the police.
“This time he has been charged in connection with the disappearance of his licensed firearm,” a senior member of the Criminal Investigation Branch confirmed on Friday.
The officer’s statement was further confirmed by a member of the St Andrew North Police Division, who spoke with The Sunday Gleaner on terms of anonymity.
“He is scheduled to appear before the court this week,” the member of the St Andrew North Police Division told The Sunday Gleaner yesterday.
While the police remained tight-lipped about the details of the incident, it is alleged that about two weeks ago, in the Shortwood Road area of St Andrew, the well-known pastor parked his vehicle, and on his return, discovered that a pouch with his firearm was missing.
“I was standing just metres away from the vehicle when it happened,” Miller told The Sunday Gleaner. He subsequently reported the theft to the police.
He has been a licensed firearm holder from the early 1990s, he said.
