In court Magistrate Gillett explain to Zhen who was unrepresented that her hands and tied as it related to her granting him bail and that he will be remanded to prison until he can get bail.
Zhen was shock when he heard the word jail and said, "Who going to jail, me?"
Zhen told the court that his firearm is licenced and was in his vehicle.
Police claim that yesterday evening Zhen was driving a Toyota Hilux erratically on Newtown Barracks.
He has been remanded and after his arraignment relatives who were at court sought the advice of an attorney. He is due back in Court #4 on October 5, 2020.
