A government employee was remanded to prison Tuesday after pleading guilty to two weapons offenses.

Sedeki Akelo Andre, a Civil Registry worker from Gambles, admitted before Senior Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel to illegal possession of a 9mm Taurus handgun and seven matching rounds. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday.

Police said the charges stem from a November 16 incident at a Gentleman’s Club, where an on-duty officer noticed a bulge at Andre’s midsection as he entered the building.

When the officer sought permission to search him, Andre allegedly resisted verbally and physically. The officer attempted to detain him, sparking a struggle that ended only after a security guard intervened.
