Cross-dresser charged with assaulting cops, damaging Police Station door

A 21-year-old cross-dresser was on Thursday granted bail by Magistrate Leron Daly when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts to answer to three charges.
Nicholas Kissoon of B Field Sophia, Greater Georgetown, pleaded not guilty to the charges when they were read to him. The court heard that on May 23, Kissoon while in custody at the Brickdam Police Station damaged a door and door lock.
He was also charged for assaulting Police Constables Tavon Watts and Ryan Fields. Kissoon was also charged with resisting arrest from Constable Fields.
Police Prosecutor Sanj Singh did not have objections to bail being granted to the

defendant.
The unrepresented Kissoon was released on $90,000 bail. The charges stemmed from an incident which occurred on April 27, 2017 at the Georgetown Prison, following an altercation between Kissoon and a female prison officer.
Kissoon said she visited the prison to take “support” for a family member and got into an argument with the female officer at the gate.
“She cuss me first, so I cuss her back and they took me to Brickdam Police Station,” Kissoon related.
“They took me to the [Brickdam Police] Station to have a seat; they beat me and start discriminating my lifestyle I live … they are finding a lot of charge because they lash me to my head and bust it,” he explained.
As it relates to the issue of attempted suicide, Kissoon said that it was a “trumped-up” charge and he had no knowledge as to why the Police would charge him with such an offence. “I have no knowledge about that, that’s a false allegation made against me by the Police.”
Meanwhile, Kissoon is expected to return to court on May 28, 2018.
