Because the matter must be heard by Supreme Court, Mr Cox was not required to enter a plea.Twenty-three-year-old Devon Hewey, of Palmetto Road, Pembroke, has already been charged in connection with the same incident and pleaded not guilty. It is expected that prosecutors will attempt to combine the matters.There were no injuries reported in the incident, but windows in Seon Place were shot out.Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner remanded Mr Cox, ordering him to return to court this afternoon for a preliminary inquiry.
