Man who ate at Palm Court but refused to pay charged

A man who ordered from Palm Court food worth more than $20,000, including chicken wings and nuggets, found himself on Monday before Georgetown Magistrate Judy Latchman after he refused to honour his debt.
Thirty-two-year-old Oswin Randy Archer of Third Avenue, Bartica denied that on March 6, 2018 at Main Street, Georgetown, he incurred debt at Palm Court by obtaining credit of $21,000 by purchasing Hennessey shots, Guinness, chicken nuggets and wings etc, for which he refused to pay.
Archer has also been charged for using a taxi to take him to several locations, including the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), on March 7, but refusing to pay for the service.
The taxi Archer used was owned and driven by Jamilla Dazzle.
Moreover, Archer was charged for stealing Dazzle’s Blu cell phone, valued $39,000, on the day that he used her taxi.
Archer explained to the court that he has arranged to pay the Palm Court Restaurant and Bar, but is unaware of the other charges against him.
A representative of Palm Court was present in Court, and denied that there was any arrangement with the defendant in regard to payment.
As Police Prosecutor Arvin Moore did not object to Archer being placed on bail, he was granted bail in the sum of $160,000, and the matter has been set for recall on March 29 2018.
