Kelvin Daly, a 32-year-old bar owner from Kwakwani Housing Scheme, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice), was granted bail on Friday after being charged with unlawfully and maliciously damaging the windshield of a pitbull bus.
The incident occurred on November 10, 2023. The minibus belongs to Richardo Carter, and the windshield is valued at $170,000.
Magistrate Rhondell Weever, overseeing the hearing at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, granted Daly, a father of three, bail in the sum of $40,000.
Daly, who has an unblemished criminal record, was described by his lawyer as responsible, and not a flight risk.
Magistrate Weaver later transferred the case to the next court, scheduling Daly’s return on January 26, 2024. During this subsequent appearance, Magistrate Weever said Daly would have the opportunity to discuss compensation directly with the assigned Magistrate and complainant.
