Man appears in court charged with possessing firearm after car hit by gunshots
AthenaA man has appeared in court charged with possessing a firearm after armed police responded to a "critical incident" involving a car being hit by gunshots.
David Joyce, 24, appeared at Swansea Magistrates' Court and spoke only to confirm his name, age and address of Bonymaen Road, Swansea.
South Wales Police said a vehicle sustained damage "consistent with a firearms discharge" on Clase Road, Morriston, Swansea, at 16:14 GMT on 6 November.
Joyce was arrested three days after the incident in Mansfield. He was remanded in custody and will next appear at Swansea Crown Court on 14 December.
Joyce's solicitor, Lucas Edwards, told the court his client would be denying the charges of affray and possession of firearm with intent to endanger life, and said Joyce was "not in area" at the time of the incident.
On Monday, Thomas Patrick Gilheaney, 29, of Pant-y-Blawd caravan site in Llansamlet, Swansea, denied possessing an offensive weapon, which was allegedly a machete, and also also denied affray.
He is expected to appear at Swansea Crown Court on 11 December.
A 41-year-old man and 16-year-old boy, both from Llansamlet, who were both arrested in connection with the incident, have since been released on bail.
