A 72-year-old woman from Meadow Brook Gardens was, on Monday, released on her own recognisance after appearing before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on a charge of provoking the peace.
The defendant, Sandra Johnson, stood before Magistrate Fabayo Azore, where she denied the allegation that, on October 4, 2025, at Lot 52 Meadow Brook Gardens, she provoked her neighbour, Selessi Campbell.
According to the prosecution, the incident reportedly arose after Johnson allegedly placed bottles in front of Campbell’s yard, leading to a heated dispute between the two. The court heard that the parties have had ongoing issues due to the close proximity of their homes.
Johnson, in her defence, told the court that the bottles in question had originally been on her property and that she merely moved them over to Campbell’s side. She further explained that long-standing tensions between herself and her neighbour have contributed to repeated confrontations.
Campbell, who is also facing a related charge in the matter, did not appear in court on Monday.
After reviewing the circumstances, Magistrate Azore granted Johnson her release on her own recognisance, meaning no bail payment was required. The matter has been adjourned until November 19, 2025, for continuation.
