A 21-year-old woman was fined, ordered to compensate an elderly man, and required to attend anger management classes after being convicted in the Magistrate’s Court of an assault captured in a widely circulated social media video.
Kadesha Oliver, of Dorset Street, was charged with causing harm and damage to property belonging to Gregory Armbrister in connection with a March 21, 2026, incident at the On The Run gas station at East Street South and Bamboo Boulevard.
Prosecutors alleged that Oliver intentionally and unlawfully caused harm to Mr Armbrister during the altercation.
On that charge, she was fined $2,000 or, in default, will serve two months at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
She was also ordered to compensate the complainant $500 or serve a further two months.
On the damage charge, the court heard that Oliver intentionally damaged a pair of Ray-Ban glasses valued at $239.80 and a 14K yellow gold Franco chain valued at $20, for a total of $259.80.
For that offence, she was fined $1,000 or, in default, will serve four months at BDOCS.
She was further ordered to compensate Mr Armbrister $400 or serve an additional two months.
The court also ordered Oliver to attend anger management classes for three months. Failure to comply will result in two months’ imprisonment at BDOCS.
The incident drew national attention after a video of the altercation circulated on social media.
In the footage, Mr Armbrister is seen entering a restroom at the gas station and securing the door behind him.
Moments later, Oliver approaches the door, agitated, knocking repeatedly and trying to gain entry.
When the door is opened, she enters and an apparent verbal exchange follows.
She then pushes the man out as the two exchange words before a physical confrontation begins.
The video shows her striking the elderly man multiple times as he tries to defend himself.
Both briefly move out of view before reappearing, with Oliver again seen delivering blows while the man attempts to hold her off.
The altercation ends when another person intervenes and separates them.
The video gained significant traction online, drawing more than 1,200 comments and 2,100 shares on Facebook.
