MIGUEL Blackman, a single-parent of three, on Friday appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court charged for allegedly robbing a man with a pair of scissors, and was released on $40,000 bail by Magistrate Leron Daly.
Blackman denied that on March 29, 2022, he robbed Trevor Junior Graham of $4,000 at Cornhill Street, Georgetown.
On the day in question, Graham was reportedly walking in the Timehri Bus Park when Blackman came up to him from behind and pushed him into a bus. He then allegedly pulled out a red-handled scissors from his waist and pointed it at Graham while demanding his valuables.
Blackman reportedly pushed his hand into Graham’s front left side pocket and took out $4,000 before making good his escape on foot.
Blackman was later arrested after Graham pointed him out to the police.
The case has been adjourned until May 13, 2022.
