“Whistle” charged for wounding security guards

An office assistant who reportedly lashed two Club 704 security guards with a broken bottle about their faces was on Monday charged for the offence and taken before city Magistrate Judy Latchman.
Twenty-seven-year-old Leon “Whistle” Duncan, of Lot 1977 Williams Street, Festival City, North Ruimveldt, denied the charge which stated that on February 23, 2018 at Lamaha Street, he wounded Gremie Adams and Kenrick Maynard.
According to Duncan’s Attorney, Mark Waldron, his client was a victim of mistaken identity. He explained that there was an altercation with the security guards and others and the complainants were struck.
He claimed that Duncan was wrongfully identified as he was not the person who was involved in the incident.
However, Police Prosecutor Arvin Moore revealed his facts, which stated that the defendant carried out the act.
As such, he objected to bail being granted based on the seriousness of the offence and the penalty attached.
Bail was granted in the sum of $80,000 for each offence, and Duncan was expected to return to court on March 26, 2018.
