TWO men were given bail in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday on separate charges of assaulting and threatening a man with a gun on New Year’s Eve.
Bancroft Thompson, 27, and Deangelo Morley, 20, faced Magistrate Samuel McKinney on a charge of assault and possession of a firearm with intent to put another in fear.
It is alleged that on December 31 in New Providence, Thompson assaulted Tenero Jones. During this same incident it is alleged that Morley also threatened Jones with a handgun.
In court, both accused pleaded not guilty to the charges against them. Bail was granted to Thompson at $1,000 with one surety. After the prosecution revealed that Morley had a previous conviction in 2020 for shop-breaking, he was also granted bail at $7,500 with one or two sureties. Under the conditions of this bail Morley is expected to sign in at Carmichael Road Police Station every Wednesday and Saturday by 6pm.
Their respective trials are scheduled for February 6.
