A minibus driver from Anna Regina Housing Scheme on the Essequibo Coast was on Wednesday granted bail after he appeared before the court for resisting Police arrest. Ally (only name given) made his first appearance before Magistrate Sunil Scarce at the Anna Regina Magistrate’s Court.
It is alleged that on August 24, 2016, he resisted Police arrest at Charity public road. He plead guilty but based on his explanation, a not guilty plea was recorded.
Ally told the court that he did not touch any Police Officer and that he and his friends were drinking earlier that day. He said also that after he finished socialising, he joined a bus and went home. After listening to his story, bail was granted in the sum of $20,000. He is expected to return to the Charity Magistrate’s Court on November 14, for the commencement of trial.
