A 33-year-old man accused of threatening another man with a handgun after an argument has been granted bail.
Kendrick Taylor pleaded not guilty before Magistrate Lennox Coleby to possession of a firearm with intent to put another in fear. Prosecutors allege he threatened Jamile Alexander with a black handgun in New Providence on February 8.
Taylor told the court the dispute stemmed from a disagreement involving the complainant’s girlfriend and said he was a self-employed mechanic.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Lincoln McKenzie did not oppose bail. Defence attorney Barry Sawyer said his client would relocate from the Montell Heights area to avoid further confrontation.
Taylor was granted $6,000 bail with one or two sureties. He must sign in at East Street South Police Station every Monday, Wednesday and Friday by 6pm, observe an 8pm to 6am curfew and wear an electronic monitoring device.
Magistrate Coleby warned him not to interfere with the complainant and not to tamper with the device.
Trial is set for March 2.
