A Dublin man named Stephen Ennis (36) appeared in court accused of possessing a loaded Makarov handgun and ammunition. According to court proceedings, Ennis allegedly sent a photo of the weapon to his ex-partner via text, which led to his arrest on July 31st. Police obtained a search warrant and discovered the firearm hidden in a dishcloth inside a drawer set at his residence. Additional evidence included a Samsung phone potentially used in the incident and video footage showing Ennis attempting to fire the gun in his garden. Ennis denied sending the photo, calling the allegations 'all lies, all hearsay.' Despite his claim of innocence, the court denied bail due to concerns over potential witness interference and the severity of the charges.
