Complainant opts not to continue court matter

A woman who allegedly caused over $200 in damage to property walked out of the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court this afternoon after the complainant dropped the charge.

Shenella Amanda Nedd, a 29-year-old cashier of #2 Well Gap, Cave Hill, St Michael, had been facing the charge that on February 16, 2022 without lawful excuse she damaged a cutlery set, one sheet of concrete board, one vase, four bottles of detergent and seven curtain rods, total value $230, belonging to Mandelo John.

However, John told Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes that she longer wanted to proceed with the matter.

She said she was not forced or coerced to do so.

Weekes then dismissed the charge and told Nedd she was free to go.
