Charged: Akeem Hodge, also called “Angel”
He denied the charge, which alleged that between May 15 and 24, 2020, at Georgetown, he stole one white gold and diamond bracelet from Jennelle Blackman. The charge was read by Magistrate Rondell Weever.
The court heard that the defendant would normally clean the Virtual Complainant’s house, and she would usually pay him. However, between the aforementioned dates, Hodge reportedly removed a diamond and gold bracelet.
As such, the matter was reported to the Alberttown Police Station and an investigation was launched.
The Prosecutor objected to bail since there are other pending matters before the court against the defendant.
Hodge was remanded to prison and will make his next court appearance on June 25, 2020.
