A 26-year-old man, Nicholas Escott, appeared before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Monday, facing charges of assaulting a police officer and using threatening language.
Escott, who told the court he is a “Jack of all trades,” was accused of the offences that occurred on September 30, 2024, at the East La Penitence Police Station.
The first charge alleged that Escott unlawfully assaulted police officer Alaska Burnett while Burnett was performing his official duties at the station.

Additionally, Escott was charged with using threatening language towards another individual, Dexter Thomas, on the same day at the same location.
Escott, who represented himself in court, pleaded not guilty to both charges.

The Magistrate granted him bail, setting it at $25,000. for the assault charge and $10,000. for the threatening language charge. The case has been adjourned, and Escott is due to return to court on November 11, 2024, for further proceedings.
