A former cop, who was wanted by the Police for allegedly trying to kill two women, was charged for discharging a firearm with intent to commit murder on Wednesday and appeared at the Linden Magistrates’ Court.
Teon Allen, also known as “Spoil Child”, appeared before Magistrate Wonda Fortune.

Allen was charged for the offence after video footage surfaced showing him carrying out the act.
However, the former cop is contending that he is not the person in the video and submitted a video as an alibi, which showed him at another location, at the time of the incident.
Allen was released on $50,000 bail and is expected to make his next to court appearance on October 7.
Allen turned himself in after a wanted bulletin was issued by the Guyana Police Force, in connection with the attempted murder of Denise Grant and Tiffany McDeth, in Amelia’s Ward, Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice), on September 2, 2019.
Meanwhile, Allen’s car was reportedly torched by a bystander who witnessed the ordeal with the women. The act was suspected to be carried out by members of a Cayenne-based Guyanese gang.
In August 2017, Allen was charged with harbouring wanted men Mark Royden Williams and Uree Varswyck – who had escaped from the Camp Street Prison on July 9, 2017.
Also in January 2017, Allen was charged along with three others for possession of an AK-47, along with matching ammunition. The men were arrested during a Police raid at a John Street, Campbellville, Georgetown house. Allen was also previously charged for a number of other offences including robbery under arms.
