A 19-year-old youth allegedly assaulted a man with a shotgun last week.

Magistrate Algernon Allen, Jr, charged Deandre Williams with assault with a deadly weapon yesterday.

Williams is accused of assaulting Alcott Forbes with the weapon on September 18 in New Providence.

Following the defendant’s not-guilty plea, he was granted $5,000 bail with one or two sureties.

His trial is set for October 27.

A 21-year-old American tourist, meanwhile, was fined $300 after admitting to having $60 worth of marijuana.

Magistrate Samuel McKinney charged Camron Lewis of Illinois with possession of dangerous drugs.

Lewis was arrested at the Nassau Cruise Port on September 20 after he was found smoking a marijuana cigarette. A search of his luggage uncovered marijuana-infused edibles with an estimated street value of $60.

After pleading guilty to the charges, Lewis was fined $300 or risk one month in prison.
