Govt Hill man accused of assault remanded

A 58-year-old man was on Monday again remanded to Dodds on a new charge which allegedly committed when he appeared in court on another some weeks ago.

Daniel Oliver White, of Seale Land, Martinique Road, Government Hill, St Michael appeared before Magistrate Alison Burke accused of assaulting Constable Larry Babb, causing harm, on July 22.

No plea was taken from the accused after the charge was read to him as Sergeant Verdon Forde made a submission for the case to be transferred to the No.1 District ‘A’  Magistrates’ Court before Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes.

The application was granted and White was remanded until August 22, to answer that charge before the chief.
