A MAN accused of armed robbery and murder faced court on five counts of violating his Supreme Court bail yesterday.
Charlton Williamson, 30, represented by attorney Alphonso Lewis appeared before Magistrate Samuel McKinney on five counts of violation of bail conditions.
The bail was granted to the accused in connection with his murder and armed robbery charges. On April 6, 2016, it is alleged that Williamson shot and killed Pail Butler in his convenience store on Melvern Road during a robbery.
In reference to his most recent charge it said that the defendant failed to charge his court imposed electronic monitoring device on five occasions between October 31 and December 3.
Williamson pleaded not guilty to these charges. The accused then told Magistrate McKinney that the monitoring company for his EMD has yet to respond to his requests for assistance for what he says is a malfunctioning device.
With no objections to bail from the prosecution, it was granted to Williamson at $6,500 with one or two sureties.
Williamson’s trial for this matter is set for January 30, 2023.
