A TWENTY-YEAR-OLD Ministry of Home Affairs stray catcher was granted $80,000 bail yesterday, on a common assault charge. Before Magistrate Judy Latchman, Colin Peters, of Lot 134 Victoria Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, denied the allegation that, on Friday, November 15, in James Street, Albouystown, he unlawfully assaulted Derrick Norton.
Police Sergeant Vishnu Hunt, prosecuting, told the court that the defendant took a beer bottle and lashed the virtual complainant.
The prosecutor did not object to the application for pre-trial freedom by defence counsel, Paul Fung-a-Fat and the case was put off to November 27.
