LINDENER, Marlon France was Monday sentenced to four months’ imprisonment by Georgetown Magistrate, Ann McLennan for threatening behaviour which he allegedly displayed against Paulette Cummings on Sunday, November 16, at Mackenzie, Linden.

It is alleged that on the day in question, at about 05:00hrs, Cummings was exercising when the defendant approached her with a broken bottle in hand and ordered her to lie on the ground. A scuffle ensued, the bottle was knocked from the defendant’s hand, and Cummings was able to run away from France although he kept pursuing her.

Cummings ran to the Mackenzie Police Station and reported the matter. The police arrested the defendant, investigations were carried out, and France was charged.

France pleaded guilty as charged.
