Man who shot at cop fails in bid to overturn conviction
After a recent resentencing exercise by the Court of Appeal, a St Catherine man who fired at a cop on a stakeout in Manning’s Hill, St Andrew, in 2015 and was sentenced to two decades behind bars, got a two-month reduction for time he spent in custody before his punishment was handed down. The man, Rohan Dixon, was convicted in 2021 in the High Court Division of the Gun Court and sentenced to 15 years behind bars for illegal possession of firearm, and 20 years for shooting with intent, with the sentences ordered to run concurrently, making it so that he would spend the longer of the two terms, which is 20 years
