Labourer Dellon McRae was yesterday remanded to prison when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court for allegedly beating his mother.

McRae of Tucville Squatting area, Georgetown, pleaded not guilty to the charges of unlawful assault and threatening behaviour committed on Renatta Reid, when Magistrate Ann McLennan read the charges to him.
He denied that on November 17, at Tucville Squatting Area, Georgetown, he unlawfully assaulted his mother and behaved threateningly towards her.
Police Prosecutor Dinero Jones told the court that on the day in question, McRae and his mother had an argument and he dealt her several cuffs to her face and pushed her into a wall. The woman later made a report to the police station and the teen was arrested and subsequently charged.
However, the defendant said that his mother was lying. He told the court that his mother was upset over a misunderstanding they had had, and the fact that he dyes his hair and has different girlfriends.
The magistrate then ordered that the defendant be remanded to prison for his failure to provide an alternative address, giving him time to think about the act he had committed against his mother, until November 28.
