Man released on bail for threatening neighbour

Khemraj Shaffy, 49, of Lot 29 Hadfield Street, Lodge, Georgetown, was on Friday released on $10,000 bail by Magistrate Leron Daly, when he reappeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts to answer to a threatening language charge.
Shaffy pleaded guilty to the charge that was previously read to him. Initially, he had told the court that he was not aware of his actions based on the fact that he was intoxicated.
The court heard that on June 3, 2018, the defendant used threatening language towards his neighbour, Basil Persaud, and had already been placed on a court bond to keep the peace.
Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield objected to bail being granted and informed the court that Shaffy was previously charged and placed on a bond to keep the peace for a similar matter.
The matter will continue on June 22.
