A FATHER and son allegedly assaulted two people with a gun last week.
Magistrate Raquel Whyms charged Samuel Paskal, 49, with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and five counts of violating bail conditions yesterday.
She charged Samy Paskal, 19, with abetment to commit assault with a deadly weapon. The defendants allegedly threatened Alex Ovilma and Lorrink Florissaint with a handgun on September 27 in New Providence.
While on release for a pending attempted murder charge, Samuel Paskal, the father, failed to charge his monitoring device five times between September 5 and 26.
Although both accused pleaded not guilty to the assault charges, the older defendant pleaded guilty to the bail violation charges.
He was fined $2,500 for the bail charge and is expected to return to court for proof of payment on November 30.
The father’s bail for the assault charge was set at $5,000 with one or two sureties. He must sign in at the Elizabeth Estates Police Station every Wednesday by 7pm.
The son’s bail was set at $2,000 with one or two sureties.
The assault trial for both is set for November 7.
