A police officer faces being kicked off the force after pleading guilty to a gun charge.
Police Constable Jay Greer appeared in the dock yesterday to face fraud and firearms charges. The 30-year-old, who has been a cop for 10 years, admitted possessing an air rifle without having the required licence.
The weapon, an SMK rifle capable of firing 5.5m pellets, was stashed in the garage of the home he shared with his wife in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. His not guilty plea was accepted to the fraud charge, which said he'd lied to a finance company to obtain a loan in his wife's name to buy a guitar.
