Woman denies possession of unlicensed gun

(CNS): A local woman from Prospect pleaded not guilty, Friday to possession of an unlicensed firearm in connection with an incident last August near Countryside Shopping Village in Savannah. Julia Lewis has denied the charges and was bailed to appear next Friday in order for attorney’s to find a vacant trial date. Lewis is alleged to have been inside a car with two other men involved in a collision on Shamrock Road close to the shopping centre on Friday 16 August 2013 when a car crashed into a utility pole. Lewis was arrested along with other occupants of the car after the three had allegedly tried to flee. At some point during the incident officers seized a .38 hand gun.
