Barbara Gayle, Staff ReporterChief Justice Lensley Wolfe on Thursday sentenced 32-year-old Kevin Tyndale, also called 'Richie Pooh', a former member of the Gideon Warriors Gang, to 12 years imprisonment for wounding with intent.
Tyndale, who has been serving a 30-year-prison sentence since September last year for gun-related charges, pleaded guilty last week Thursday in the Gun Court to charges of illegal possession of firearm, shooting with intent and wounding with intent.
He was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment each on the other charges but they are to run concurrently so he will serve 12 years. The sentences are also to run concurrently with the other prison sentences which Tyndale is serving.
Pleaded guilty
Tyndale pleaded guilty last week Thursday to a shooting incident in Papine, St. Andrew, in February 2004, in which a policeman was shot in the leg.
Last September, Tyndale was convicted in the Gun Court and sentenced to 30 years imprisonment for shooting and wounding a civilian during a robbery in Papine.
He was also sentenced in February this year to life imprisonment and ordered to serve 35 years before being eligible for parole following his conviction for the murder of taxi driver Jarvis Lobban. Lobban was shot dead on August 14, 2003 at a playing field in Mud Town, near Gordon Town, St. Andrew.
