Teen admits to assaulting father

A 19-year-old who assaulted his father and damaged his property has been placed on a bond to keep the peace and be on his best behaviour for the next three months.

If Theron Edson Theo Edwards, of Mayers Road, Smith Road, My Lord’s Hill, St Michael breaches the order of Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes, he will have to pay a forthwith fine of $1 000 or spend 60 days at Dodds Prison.

The sentence was imposed after the teenager, who is a tiler by trade, pleaded guilty before the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday to damaging eight louvre panes belonging to Theron Edwards, his father, and assaulting him on April 17.
