Youth guilty of using threats

A 22-year-old is on a year bond to keep the peace and be of good behaviour.

If Damon Tyrone Moore, of Apartment N, Melbourne Apartments, Black Rock, St Michael breaches the order imposed by Magistrate Graveney Bannister, he will have to pay the court a $1,500 forthwith fine or spend the alternative of five months in prison.

The sentence was handed down after Moore pleaded guilty to using threatening words towards Sophia Downes on May 7, which caused her harassment, alarm and distress.

Moore told the complainant “You bring a man down here and showing him which part my mother live? If anybody go round my mother, I gine come and shoot you in your head.”

In handing down the sentence Magistrate Bannister told Moore to avoid taking the law into his own and to behave himself. “Call the police. Never take the law into your own hands. So, don’t go around with that kind of behaviour.”
