A MAN was remanded to prison yesterday after denying assaulting a woman with his car last week.

Nelson Bevans, 30, stood before Magistrate Kendra Kelly on a charge of assault with a dangerous instrument. He is alleged to have assaulted a woman with his black 2001 Nissan March on December 8 on Bernard Road in Fox Hill.

In court, Bevans pleaded not guilty to the offence. Prosecutor Sergeant Vernon Pyfrom then objected to the defendant’s bail on the basis that he has a pending firearm charge before Magistrate Samuel McKinney.

In view of this, Magistrate Kelly sent Bevans to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until December 19. Then he will return to court for a bail decision before Magistrate Kelly and continuation of the firearm matter.
