Man accused over death threat

By PAVEL BAILEY

A MAN was arraigned yesterday for threatening a woman with death over the weekend.

Caleb Stubbs, 32, stood before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain to face a charge of threats of death.

He is accused of threatening the complainant, Racquel McPhee, on Sunday, March 26, in New Providence.

Stubbs elected to have his trial heard in Magistrate’s Court and pleaded not guilty to the charge against him.

While the accused was initially offered bail in the sum of $3,000 with one surety, the prosecution objected to this.

Prosecutor Inspector Lincoln McKenzie wanted Stubbs’ bail denied on the basis that he already had a previous death threat conviction.

In view of this information, Assistant Chief Magistrate Swain rescinded the accused’s bail, despite Stubbs’ pleas for release from custody so he can be with his three-month-old baby.

Stubbs’ trial was adjourned to July 29.
