AN 18-year-old was yesterday (March 4, 2019) remanded to prison by Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court for three offences.
Shaquille Davis, a street mason residing in Guyhoc Park, pleaded not guilty to all three charges.

Particulars of the first charge alleged that on March 1, 2019, at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, he gave false information to the court about his name and his age. The court heard that Davis told the officer in charge of the matter that he was 17 and his name was Shamar and not Shaquille. When an investigation was launched into the matter, his birth certificate was brought forward and revealed that the defendant had given false information to the police.

The second charge alleged that on February 2, 2019, at High Street, Georgetown, Davis robbed Sherlock Cummings of $3000 in cash, a silver chair worth $10,000 and one white BLU cellphone worth $16,000. He also used violence during the act.
The third charge read that on March 1, 2019, at the Brickdam Police Station, after being in lawful custody for robbery and presenting false information, he escaped from the said custody.

According to reports, the defendant went through the police’s management office and jumped through the window. He then ran through the police nest and scaled the fence, resulting in him sustaining injuries.

The defendant denied all the allegations, claiming that he went to the washroom, handcuffed to another man who escaped. As a result, the police threatened to lock him up.
The prosecutor objected to bail being granted because of the seriousness of the offence and due to the fact that the defendant is a flight risk.

Davis was remanded and will return to court on March 18, 2019.
