A 45-year-old man appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts to answer to a damage to property charge, to which he was granted bail in the sum of $30,000.
Burnard Campbell appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus.
It is alleged that he unlawfully and maliciously damaged a $12,000 glass door that belonged to Natasha Ramdass on December 10, 2023, at Lot 28 Kingston, Georgetown.
The charge has been refuted by the defendant.
The Police prosecutor said Campbell and Ramdass are acquainted. Additionally, the prosecutor told the court that Campbell had made threats to murder Ramdass.
Given that Campbell does not have a fixed address and thus poses a flight risk, the prosecutor objected to his release on bail.
In the end, the Chief Magistrate overruled the prosecutor’s objections and granted bail to the accused.
He was, however, ordered by the court to receive mental health therapy. His next court appearance is scheduled for January 31, 2024.
