ECD duo slapped with assault, disorderly behaviour charges

Two East Coast Demerara (ECD) men were slapped with assault and disorderly behaviour charges after they reportedly attacked a peace officer.
Reports are that Carleen Rankin, 27, of Ninth Street, Dazzel Housing Scheme, ECD, and Justin Williams, 22, of the same address, appeared before Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Cove and John Magistrate’s Court, where they denied the offences.
It is alleged that they assaulted a peace officer contrary to Section 28 (b) of the Summary Jurisdiction Offences Act, Chapter 8:02, and exhibited disorderly behaviour that is contrary to Section 136 (a) of the Summary Jurisdiction Offences Act, Chapter 8:02.
When the charges were read to Williams and Rankin, they denied the offences and were placed on $25,000 bail each. The case will continue on March 18, 2022.
