Social media “celebrity” jailed for six months

The “fans” of Dwayne Anderson Hutchinson will miss him for the next six months, as he has been sentenced to spend that amount of time at Dodds.

The 42-year-old unemployed man from Storey Gap, Codrington Hill, St Michael was jailed recently when he appeared before Magistrate Alison Burke and confessed to assaulting Liam Padmore and using the threatening words “I gine kill you” towards him, on April 5.

With the guilty plea, Hutchinson, who had 20 previous convictions, breached a three-month suspended sentence imposed on him in January by Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes in another matter.

Outlining the facts, prosecutor Ralph Rollock said that Padmore was at a shop along Green Hill, St Michael purchasing food when Hutchinson approached him aggressively. Padmore told him to go about his business but Hutchinson used the threatening words multiple times towards him and threw a brick at the complainant, hitting him.

However, Hutchinson, who claimed to be “’Fatman, the number one celebrity in the island”, denied hitting Padmore. He admitted that he did curse and pick up a brick and threatened to throw it at Padmore but had not actually done so.

Magistrate Burke sentenced him to three months for using threatening words, along with three months for breaching the previous suspended sentence. He was convicted, charged and reprimanded on the assault charge.
