A 53-year-old construction worker from Ocho Rios, Jamaica, has been formally charged with possession of a prohibited weapon and assault at common law following a tense altercation at a gas station in Discovery Bay, St Ann. Gary Ferguson, a resident of Great Pond, allegedly brandished a firearm during a dispute with a pump attendant on September 15. The incident occurred around 11:50 am when Ferguson parked his vehicle at the gas station and engaged in a heated argument with the attendant. Witnesses claim Ferguson pulled a gun from his pocket, pointed it at the attendant, and issued threats, prompting the attendant to flee to a nearby store for safety. There, she alerted the store supervisor and an on-duty security guard. Ferguson reportedly confronted the guard, accusing him of recording the incident. He allegedly drew his firearm again, pointed it at the guard’s face, and seized his phone while issuing further threats. After the confrontation, Ferguson fled the scene in his vehicle but was later intercepted by law enforcement. Police seized a 45mm pistol and took Ferguson into custody. On October 3, Ferguson was formally charged based on collected statements. A court date is currently being finalized.
