3 face charges of false information, theft, assault

Three Georgetown residents appeared before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Courts on Wednesday in unrelated matters involving allegations of false information, theft, and assault.
In the first case, Alberttown businesswoman Bibi Jubbard was charged with using a computer system to disseminate false information. The court was told that between September 5 and 16, 2025, at Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, Jubbard allegedly published information that caused embarrassment to the virtual complainant, Ramkumar Rampersaud.
Jubbard, who pleaded not guilty, was represented by attorney Bernard DaSilva, who emphasised that his client has no previous convictions. DaSilva also informed the court that Rampersaud had initially expressed no interest in pursuing the matter. However, when Rampersaud appeared in court, he confirmed his intention to proceed.
Magistrate Azore granted Jubbard bail in the sum of $75,000, and the case was adjourned to October 8.

In the second case, Quacy Browne, a 41-year-old construction worker from Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara, was arraigned on a charge of simple larceny. Browne, who had worked at Kaieteur News for over two decades before leaving in July, is accused of stealing 20 reels of premium offset paper valued at $280,000 from the company’s Lot 24 Saffon Street, Charlestown location on September 21, 2025. The stolen items were reportedly returned the same day.
Browne pleaded not guilty. With no objections from the prosecutor, Magistrate Azore granted him bail in the sum of $75,000. The matter was adjourned to November 5.
Meanwhile, in the third case, Kermaul Jermaine, a welder from Lodge Housing Scheme, was charged with assault causing bodily harm. The charge alleges that on September 22, 2025, at Lot 168 Lodge, Jermaine assaulted Alisson Retmyer, leaving her with injuries.
The prosecutor told the court that Jermaine and Retmyer reside at the same address and that the altercation stemmed from an argument about the accused moving his belongings. It was alleged that Jermaine struck the complainant several times in the face. The prosecutor objected to bail, arguing that the offence was serious and prevalent and expressing concerns that Jermaine might reoffend if released.
Magistrate Azore denied bail, and Jermaine was remanded to prison until the matter is recalled on October 8.
