Last night, we told you about 48 year-old Andy Aviles who was charged with attempt robbery after he was caught trying to rob a taxi driver. Well today, he was brought to court.
He covered up his face all the way to and from the Court room of Chief Magistrate Ann Marie Smith, where he was arraigned.
Avilez pleaded not guilty to the charge but the prosecutor objected to bail on the grounds that he has been previously charged with other offenses of dishonesty.
Chief Magistrate Anne Marie Smith upheld that objection and remanded him to prison until June 8, when he will be brought back to court.
As we reported, Avilez allegedly got into the Guatemalan taximan, Walter Lopez's, vehicle and robbed him of $10 using a plastic gun.
Fortunately, Lopez shouted for a passing police mobile and Avilez was arrested after he was allegedly caught in the act.
