A MAN awaiting trial for murder was granted bail on Friday after he was accused of failing to sign in at his local police station for 18 days.
Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville arraigned Joey Scott, 39, on violation of bail conditions.
Scott was granted bail by the Supreme Court for his alleged involvement in the death of Lamont Fisher on May 7, 2019 on Dominica Way.
Prosecutors allege that the defendant failed to obey his court order to sign in at a police station for 18 days between December 18, 2024 and February 14.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Scott’s bail for his latest offense was set at $2,500 with one or two sureties.
The defendant was informed that he must obey the same reporting conditions given to him by the higher court.
Scott’s bail violation trial will begin on May 13.
Inspector Cordero Farrington served as the prosecutor.
