A 23-YEAR-OLD drinks seller who was charged with armed robbery was given another chance yesterday, after he made his appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.City magistrate Faith McGusty warned Aubrey Hyman that “bucket a go ah well every day, one day e bottom a bust,” after she informed him that the charge against him was dismissed. She encouraged him to stay out of trouble.

The charge which was read to him stated that on March 29, 2016, at Laing Avenue, he, along with another person, armed with a gun, robbed Ackeem Herod of one IPhone valued $60,000 and $4,000 cash. Hyman denied the allegation after the Administration of Justice act was applied.

Police prosecutor Sean Blackman objected to bail based on the nature of the offence committed and the value of the article.

Blackman pointed out to the court that, on the day in question, the defendant approached the virtual complainant as he was leaving his girlfriend’s residence. He said the defendant and another person pounced on him and robbed him of the said articles mentioned in the charge.

An identification parade was conducted at Golden Grove Police Station, where the defendant was positively identified by the virtual complainant.
However, Herod did not want to continue with the matter against Hyman, since the accused’s relatives had compensated him for the articles he was accused of stealing. The matter was therefore dismissed.
