AN arrest warrant has been issued for Brittany Harris, the woman accused of intentionally libelling Energy and Transport Minister JoBeth Coleby-Davis and attorney Bjorn Ferguson.
Prosecutors allege that Harris, 34, published a video of Mr Ferguson on social media sometime in April 2024 with the intent of shaming him.
She is also accused of posting defamatory material about Mrs Coleby-Davis on Facebook in October 2024, along with recorded audio that prosecutors say was shared with the intent to shame the minister.
In December, Harris pleaded not guilty to two counts of intentional libel before Deputy Chief Magistrate Kara Turnquest Deveaux.
Harris failed to appear in court yesterday for a scheduled status hearing.
As a result, Magistrate Deveaux ruled that Harris had breached her bail conditions, revoked her bail, and issued a warrant for her arrest.
The sureties who signed Harris’s $5,000 bail may have their bond forfeited to the Crown.
Harris had been scheduled to return to court for trial on February 24 and 25, 2026.
Inspector K Wilkinson prosecuted.
