Jones admits to repeatedly harassing restaurant worker

Adrian Llewellyn Jones is on remand at Dodds Prison after pleading guilty to harassing the same woman on several occasions.

The 56-year-old labourer of St Leonard’s Avenue, Westbury Road, St Michael admitted that between December 1 and 31, 2024, he harassed the woman on Swan Street. He again harassed her on January 18 on the same City street. On February 3, he repeated his actions on Bridge Street and also assaulted the woman.

Reading the facts in the No. 1 District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court, prosecutor Sergeant Randolph Boyce said the complainant was working in a restaurant in Bridgetown when Jones, who she did not know, repeatedly went to the counter, stared at her, and told her he was “marking her face”. She became increasingly uncomfortable and left the job.

The complainant started work at another City restaurant. However, Jones eventually showed up there as well and again harassed her, following her on one occasion through The City and into the Granville Williams Bus Terminal on Fairchild Street.

Jones pleaded guilty to the charges, telling the court that he kept “butting up” on the woman.

Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes ordered the accused to be assessed while on remand.

Jones will return to court on March 10.
